Dunedin Public Libraries

The Library, often described as the living room of the city, provides a range of inviting physical and virtual spaces, and offers open access to information, education, ideas and works of the imagination across generations. A regular collaborator with local writers and arts organisations, the public libraries hosts and publicises author talks, workshops and supporting book launches. The libraries ensure that the published work of Dunedin writers is well represented on the shelves for customers to enjoy, and also keeps a pristine heritage copy for future generations through the McNab New Zealand Collection.

Libraries can be found in the City, Mosgiel, Port Chalmers, South Dunedin, Blueskin Bay and Waikouaiti; along with two book buses that visit a wide variety of areas throughout Dunedin.
