ORANGE
Porirua City is at the orange setting of the Covid-19 traffic lights protection framework. This means some changes to the way we work and live, as protections are in place to help minimise the spread of Covid-19 in the community. Find out more
For up to date information about alert levels, community cases, and getting tested visit covid19.govt.nz and health.govt.nz.
Parking can be tight, but there's a regular bus service. You're welcome to take kids and books to the playground next door (make sure the books have been issued first).
We love nothing better than a box of new books. Our books, magazines, DVDs, puzzles and other holdings are being constantly refreshed, based on your interests. We're always keen to chat, and get suggestions if you'd like something different.
