Getting a library card is easy!

Get your Manukau Libraries card today.

Simply join online or visit any branch of Manukau Libraries.

Satisfactory identification includes:

• New Zealand drivers licence
• Student/work identification
• Passport
• Bank card
• Community Services Card
• Rates notice
• Tenancy/rent document
• Power or phone bill
• Bank statement
• Government correspondence (e.g. IRD, Work and Income).
