Accessibility
We are committed to making libraries welcoming for all members of our community. Read about our services for customers for disabilities.
All of our library locations are wheelchair accessible and most locations have wheelchair accessible toilets and height adjustable issue desks. Richmond and Motueka Libraries have a wheelchair available for use in the library.
Housebound Service
If you are unable to visit the library due to a major illness, disability or advanced years you may qualify for our Housebound Service.
Items are selected by library staff and delivered by one of our group of volunteers or by a person nominated by you. Please contact your local library to enquire about the service.
