About the Library
Our Vision:
The Library : The Heart of the Campus
Te Puna Matauranga: Te Manawa o Te Haumihiata
All students and staff have free access to the libraries at both Windermere and Bongard campuses, which are well equipped with a wide range of resource material including books, newspapers, periodicals (journals, magazines, serials), videos, DVDs and CD as well as internet access.
We offer an interloan service from other libraries, and our twice daily shuttle delivers material on request between campuses.
