Welcome to Little Lost Libraries! We’re calling on all the adventurers, dreamers, and curious souls in Whangārei!

The Little Lost Libraries are little temporary libraries that will pop up around the city for the duration of the Little Lost Art Festival, October 1 - 13, 2026.

Scattered across town, eight unique Little Lost Libraries await your discovery. Each one holds its own treasures – from tiny stories and mystical tarot to shiny trinkets, nature's wonders, and everything in between. Trade a treasure, leave a creation, or simply enjoy.

You don’t have to stop at that, though – pick up your official Adventure Librarian Passport and begin your quest. Visit each library, explore what's inside, and collect a stamp as proof of your journey. You might even discover the secret of the ninth hidden library! Once you've gathered all 8 stamps, the clues will come together, and the path to the secret library will reveal itself.

Only the most dedicated adventurers will puzzle it out. So grab your passport, pack your curiosity, and step into a world where little things spark big adventures. Happy exploring!
