Items from our Māori collections are available for lending in all branch libraries. There is a comprehensive reference collection in Te Puawānanga at Whangārei Central Library.
Māori material is identified by the kowhaiwhai (left) and patikitiki (right) symbols on their spine labels.
Reference or not for loan materials also have a red 'R' label. These items may not be borrowed, however there are photocopying facilities available.
