Renewals

You can renew most items up to two times, as long as they have not been requested by someone else.            

The renewal period is the same as the initial check out period.

There is no renewal fee, but if you paid a rental fee to borrow the item, you will need to pay that fee again.

The following overdue charges apply per item per day.                                                      

It is free to place a request.

There is a $2 charge if you do not pick up a request that has arrived for you (this only applies to adult memberships).

Charges apply to in-depth research, including whakapapa and family history, as well as for the retrieval and supply of articles, including community newspapers.             

The first 30 minutes is free. After the first 30 minutes, there is a charge of $20.70 per half hour.             

Any photocopying, printing and postage charges are additional.
