Every library holds taonga - some nestled safely away, others passed through countless hands.

Ahakoa he iti, he pounamu brings these treasures together. Gathering the objects that speak to them, our library kaimahi have given you the chance to see our collection in a whole new light. Books, photographs, curious objects, and unexpected finds sit side by side, each elevated from the ordinary by the story of why it matters. 

Come explore the unexpected, discover new favourites, and see what taonga are waiting to be discovered.
