Best Public library in New Zealand

J	Jacob Chubb on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great modern place. Free wifi, free computers, lots of cool areas to sit and read. Kids book section is awesome, love the steps to sit and read on. Clean and quiet most of the time, just avoid the hour or 2 after school when lots of school kids come in if you want some peace and quiet.
T	Tony Bartlett on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fully vaccinated still denied entry even with Covid Pass because it was old and if they had bothered to watch the news they would realize that there is a huge delay on getting the new pass, if this library wants to divide people into classes based on vaccination status they should be shut down, I will not be returning to this library again and I suggest others do the same

J	Jamine sony Morgan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ whangarei central Library has come along why since the Very last time I set foot inside and that is going right back to 1992 and after that i went to Auckland and Never came back till now and all I have to say about it once again it is so flash inside and outside I had to take a photo because 20 years ago the New part of the whangarei Library it was part of the Forum North car park
L	Luana Poata on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Staff are always pleasant and most helpful ? I had no problem getting what I need done, printing, using their computers.
R	Rude People on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Alot of gossiping between librarians when they shud be cleaning the shelves and books. Library needs cleaning, book shelves are covered in thick dust, books need wiping down before being reshelved for hygiene and covid reasons, as I notice librarians obsessed with tidying books but their filthy. carpet needs replacing or cleaning, windows all need cleaning, staff dress bit rough, would look more professional if they wore blue council shirts, toilets shouldn't be communal.
A	Ara Bartlett on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A Vaccine Pass for a public library? Why is this necessary? The cafe could easily be separated from the rest of the building. I have seen children denied access to the library for not having a Vaccine Pass and told to go to the Kamo library instead. The Central Library is walking distance from most schools and a safe, educational environment to go to after school has finished. Public libraries are for all people, this discrimination should be ended.
F	Fats White on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love library mine and the public, this particular Whangarei holds a special place to me, you could say I'm self educating myself further and beyond the schools and university and various institutions my hungry brain has attended, in all libraries there are many many ways to do rhis, small town libries are imbued with great sections and old photographs of local knowledge, the Māori section here in this library is brilliant. The structure of the building reflects our being situated in the south pacific, its tall flowing bannister leads 1 up to the heights of the human condition, wow thats deep. I ❣ this place, also all of the staff feel like they really enjoy being there, i found this experience awesome, akin to other libraries from which I have seeked out some whim and whisper within i thirst for understanding.
