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.
