Moutere Hills RSA Memorial Library (Māpua Community Library)

The Moutere Hills RSA memorial library (Māpua Community Library) is a community-based library, with around 2800 members, sixty volunteers and 13,000 books.

Māpua Community Library is reliant on grants, donations, and fund raising for maintaining an up-to-date book collection as well as covering administration costs

Our income from grants and fund-raising events was reduced in 2021 and 22; an impact of Covid19 which restricted the number of new books we were able to purchase.

In the 2022/23 fiscal year, whilst our fund-raising efforts have been well supported by the community, grants to foundations and organisations are significantly reduced and we have a shortfall in funds.

Māpua Community Library is in the process of raising funds for computer hardware upgrades, which sits outside of our on-going operational cost.

To maintain the currency and relevance of our collection and to continue to support our local community we have set up a givealittle page.
