Fees & Charges

Hauraki District Libraries operate three branches located in Ngatea, Paeroa & Waihi. Between them, the libraries have a collection of approximately 50,000 items which are replenished at a rate of approximately 6,000 per year to ensure our collections remain current. As we are small, we don't hold identical items in each library. However, we can easily bring items to your branch where they are usually held in another.

Note: The Libraries Fees & Charges have been reviewed with the decision to keep the majority of fees the same for the coming year, with the exception of Interloans - being the Cost of loans from other libraries, and Reserves which will increase from 50c to $1.00. These changes will take effect from 1 July 2011.

Most items are free to borrow.
