Welcome to the Whakatane District Council

Support Us

Donations

Whakatane District Library is delighted to accept donations as gifts on the understanding that this:

  • Does not impose any obligations on the Library system.
  • Is not in exchange for a reduction in fees or other charges.
We are not always able to use items that are donated to us. In this case we will consider/advise of other options – including donating to:
  • Whakatane Museum and Gallery
  • Other libraries
Or
  • Include items in our book sales thus indirectly assisting the library.
  • Other appropriate forms of disposal.  

Volunteers

All Whakatane District Libraries’ branches need volunteers.

Volunteers are a valuable resource for our libraries. Without them we would be unable to provide some services.

You can help us by:

  • Shelving (just returned items)
  • Shelf checking that items are in correct order on the shelves
  • Book mending
  • Story telling
  • Delivering to and collecting items from house bound members
If you can:
  • Enjoy being part of a team
  • Follow instructions
  • Work unsupervised
  • Comply with the Health and Safety Regulations
Then call us for further information.

Aims to support and promote the Whakatane District Libraries objectives and services in the Community.
  • Events
  • Author visits and readings
  • Short story competition
  • Story telling
  • Support library holiday programme
