What's not to love about a library. We were just visiting wellington and I need a place to work and open my laptop and I had a productive afternoon here. Nice ambience to work / study, especially with the view overlooking the harbour - couldn't ask more! We get a free wifi from the city as well - Thank you Wellington.

Fantastic central community library: magazines, CDs, DVDs, reference, journals, books, great kids, YA areas, study zonesAn essential part of life in Wellington (especially if you have a family). Very treasured.

One of the best places for the locals to learn and spend time catch up with friends. It offers the great atmosphere for all ages to refresh themselves by reading.

It has three floors, each one has hundreds shelves of books I assume, because its really big. Love the vibes around, everyone seems concentrating on something they really love. Also, they have a cafe where you can get great food after a hunting in knowledge.

Wellington Central Library is a great place to hang out. Heaps of good books and public spaces to use. It also has paid computer access and printing. You can connect to the free “cbdfree” wifi too. Too bad it’s closed at the moment for earthquake strengthening. When it is back open it should be a great place again.

Fantastic library. Various little nooks to curl up and plant yourself down, always lots of folks with laptops. Great variety of books over different floors as well as magazines, dvds&cds. Ground floor also has a good children's area. New self check out machines are great, super quick and easy to use - have seen little people&grandas use them no problems. Most of the staff are super friendly and helpful. Great big book sale a couple of times a year. Clarks cafe upstairs is a great spot too. All the libraries do interloans, would definitely recommend downloading the app.

I'm devastated that the library is closed for good! It was the first place my family discovered when we're first came to Wellington. We spent hours every weekend here, lying around reading books, listening to music and picking out movies, then wandering up to Clarks for a cuppa. What will we do now...forget everything else! The library is a priority...

An impressive library for such a small city. A huge amount of space over 4 floors. A cafe with large amounts of seating areas, and desks and chairs all around the library for working. Free Wi-Fi is great here, provided by Wellington Council.They have heaps of books of all types, CDs, DVDs, magazines etc.

Spent here quite a lot of time last year and really loved it. You can find all kind of books and a great atmosphere here. Whenever I wanted to have a good time reading I came here and always found a good place. The children's corner is great as well and there's a place to pray on the first floor next to the Cafe.
