Uncover the history of the Auckland Public Library, tracking its growth as a vital hub for community.

The Auckland Public Library has its own story of civic participation and community development. This fascinating presentation by Star Jackson explores the eras that shaped the institution and how its social importance has evolved to meet the needs of Aucklanders, evolving into a free lending service in 1946 and the opening of the current central city library building in 1971.

Additionally, Star has conducted extra research on the history of the Titirangi Library and will present these local findings as part of the session.
