Library Services
We have four libraries across our district at WaihĪ Beach, Katikati and Ōmokoroa in the East, all the way to Te Puke in the West. Together we have an amazing collection of over 90,000 items including books, graphic novels, magazines and audiobooks - not to mention our Digital Services which provide online access to a huge range of eBooks, eAudiobooks, magazines, newspapers and databases.
Our traditional library services are still hands-on and include everything you've come to know and love about your local Western Bay library!
Book Club Kits
Welcome to our new Book Club Kits for book clubs! Each of our libraries at Waihī Beach, Katikati, Ōmokoroa and Te Puke hold Book Club Kits - a range of 16 titles across all branches can be reserved, issued for loan, and are able to be renewed. Head into one of our branches for more information or search Book Club Kit through our online catalogue.

Inter-Library Loan Services
If you can't find what you're looking for in our catalogue, books and articles can be requested for loan from libraries outside of the Western Bay district. For a small fee, your book will be delivered to your local Western Bay library and you will be notified when it is ready for collection. Please refer to the Library FAQs for more information.

Something Missing?
We love books as much as you do, but sometimes we miss an absolute page-turner! Reach out to let us know if you've noticed a book that you think should be part of our collection. We'll be happy to check it out and consider if it falls within our selection guidelines.
