Central Library
In progress
Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui Central Library has a special place in Wellingtonians’ hearts. That’s why in 2020 we opted to remediate the current Central Library building to the highest level of earthquake resilience. The refurbished building will bring together library services, City Archives, and Nōku te Ao Capital E, as well as celebrating the unique cultural identity of Pōneke and our Tākai Here partnership. Construction is now finished, the new building has been blessed, and the reopening celebration will take place on 14 March 2026.
