Master storyteller Dick Weir visits Miramar Library
The Council owns and manages 12 branch libraries. Wellington's first public library opened in 1841, and while some leather-bound tomes remain on the shelves today, the days when libraries just offered books are long gone. Wellington City Libraries are working towards making as much information available as possible. You can search the libraries' online catalogue including books, DVDs and CDs 24 hours a day, check your library card, view lists of new items and find information on popular topics. The database portal at mygateway.info enables library members to search authoritative databases and thousands of New Zealand and international newspaper and magazine articles on many topics.
