Welcome to Waimakariri District Libraries

Welcome to Waimakariri District Libraries. We have three libraries funded as a service of the Waimakariri District Council - Rangiora, Oxford and Kaiapoi.

 

Our libraries offer over 120,000 items including fiction, non-fiction, DVDs, talking books, magazines and music. We also offer a wealth of reference and local history information both print and electronic, and if we don't have what you need we can interloan from other libraries.
