Introducing the Bestie collection

Our brand-new Bestie collection is designed to help readers access the best new books without waiting in the holds queue!

The first edition of Bestie is the We Read Auckland collection – ten bestselling books by Auckland authors. Delve into fiction and non-fiction from your favourite local writers, or discover something new.

Multiple copies of the Bestie books are available to borrow at all our libraries on a first come, first served basis.
