The easiest way to find a library on the Directory of NZ Libraries is to enter its library symbol in the search box.
If you do not know the library symbol, enter a word from the library name in the search box. Note that the default Boolean operator is currently OR, therefore it is best to enter only one word. Yu can also restrict your search to public libraries if this is relevant.
Examples of searches:
- Christchurch – this will retrieve all Christchurch libraries
- Christchurch [and tick the 'Public Libraries' box] – will retrieve Christchurch City Libraries
