Our magazine collection provides a range of general, popular and special interest New Zealand and international magazines for relaxation and enjoyment. It also supplements the non-fiction book collections in some subjects. We try to be as responsive as possible to local community trends and interests.
Our branch libraries and the Mobile Library all have a selection of magazines tailored to their communities. All loan copies of magazines are available to request from any of our library locations.
We cover a large range of topics and all age groups:
For adults the current issues for each magazine are available for 3 day loan. These magazines cannot be renewed nor can requests be placed on them.
Previous issues are available to borrow for 2 weeks, can be renewed and requested.
Māori magazines located in the Māori Room at Whangarei Central Library include: back copies of 'Mana' which are available for loan and 'Tu Mai' and 'Te Karaka' which are for reference only.
