Libraries

Kia ora, welcome to Thames-Coromandel District Libraries.  Our three library branches are located in Thames, Mercury Bay and Tairua.

The 2025 PLNZ Community Impact Survey for library users is available here.

Note 4 December 2025:

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has issued a further recall of a coloured sand product.

The product was used at our Mercury Bay Library in Whitianga six months ago and has not been at the site since then.

Following WorkSafe guidance the library remains open but a certified company has been monitoring the air quality and taken surface swabs from high-use areas. Results are expected back on Friday 5 December.

For more information on the new recall, including how to handle the recalled coloured sand products, visit the MBIE website. 

We thank you for your understanding and support.
