Chairs for reading are plenty, as are the desks and power points on the upper level. Bean bags provided at the young adult section. They loan jigsaws for 6 weeks at just 1 (including use for within the library) - what a fantastic idea and if I were staying here I would definitely go for it!

Love that place staff are always very helpful, love the atmosphere in the library......they certainly know there way around a computer.
Staff very helpful, great customer service.

While the services offered at this library are on par with all of the other librarys in NZ that I've visited, the user-friendliness is not. The staff are unable or perhaps unwilling to assist simple tasks such as extending internet usage time on an otherwise very slow day with no one in the library. They insist on using the automated prompts for internet session renewal, which do not work properly (!), because they do not always offer the renewal feature. This leads to lost work, and many unnecessary visits to the library main desk - which wastes everyone time, and the same dull response "wait for the automated prompt" is given every time. Also, this library is entirely unique in NZ in it's printing charges. All other libraries (having visited over a dozen) in NZ that I have visited are 0.20 per page, this library (being special) charges 0.30 per page. Perhaps the library is underfunded, which leads to color printing chargest of 2.60 per page (all other libraries visited are 1.00 per color page). Very strange. Also, because there is little respect for the environment (Trees - this is a general comment about NZ libraries) - double sided printing is the same cost as single sided. Presumably because paper has no value. GO figure?
Fast and free wifi. Plenty of seating room and easy going stuff. Parking space available in front of the library for 120 minutes.
Didnt actually go inside the library but we just needed to use Wi-Fi. They have Wi-Fi here available 24/7 and can be connected sat outside, there is seating too! Fantastic facility just for the Wi-Fi so we could plan and get organised. Brilliant!
