Ngā Kete Wānanga o Ōtautahi | Christchurch City Libraries are all about connecting people, inspiring discovery and enriching communities. We provide programmes, facilities and resources, so that you can access a world of ideas and imagination. You can use our spaces to study, create, have fun or meet with other people. Te Kete Wānanga o Ōraka | Shirley Library is located beside The Palms Mall, sharing a carpark with them. We have a collection of books, magazines and AV materials for all ages that you are welcome to borrow as well as a CCC Service Desk and NZ Post Counter inside our building. Find out more about te Tiriti o Waitangi and te ao Māori in Ngā Pounamu Māori and many other cultures in our wider collections.
