Dunedin Public Libraries | Kā Kete Wānaka o Ōtepoti


April brings a celebration of diversity and community at Dunedin Public Libraries. As we mark Autism Acceptance Month, we're reminded of the importance of creating inclusive spaces for all. From commemorating 75 years of our beloved Bookbus service to offering thought-provoking discussions on Kāi Tahu design and creative writing workshops, there's something for everyone to explore and enjoy. Whether you're seeking to expand your literary horizons, delve into local history, or simply find a quiet moment of reflection, your library is here to help.
