We are into the last week of Rodney District Council and there can be no better time than to celebrate our history - a lot of which you can find out about at ... your local Library (of course).
Here are just a few of the resources we have at Rodney Libraries for you to be able to find out more about the wonderful place we call home.
Books
The easiest way to find books on the area you want is to carry out a Subject Search. Simply enter the area you want to investigate, say Helensville, followed by NZ History and you will find a whole range of items. So your search will look like Helensville N Z History
Digital Resources
The Local History button on our home page takes you through to some wonderful resources including the websites of most of our local Museums and the website for carrying out a local Cemetary search.
In addition our e-resources (which will soon be known as Digital resources) contain old newspapers, a library edition of Ancestry Online and much else that will be of use.
Geneology
The district's Geneology resources are now housed at the Whangaparaoa Library. We do this in partnership with the Hibiscus Coast Geneology Society. For the keen geneologists amongst you, this is an absolute treasure trove that can account for hours of your time.
Indulge yourself and take a look at our history, bearing in mind that some of these books and items are irreplaceable so you may only be able to view them in the library.
