This 480 sqm, 15,000 book library for Auckland City Council serves not only as a book lending facility, but also as a place to host a variety of community activities, such as childrens story-telling sessions, a teenagers homework centre, public lectures, etc.
Carefully inserted into the southern end of an existing park, the building features a central courtyard that provides natural light and outlook for the book stacks and reading areas, while at the same time ensures book security.
