Kōtui is here!Posted on 16 May 2013
 We have changed over to the Kōtui system! This is a major change and for customers the most noticeable changes will be the new online Catalogue and watching staff at the desk becoming familar with the new software for circulating items. In the workroom staff will soon start using the Kōtui system for ordering, receiving and cataloguing new items. As mentioned below, there will be some delay before these new magazine issues and books are available. Read more about the changeover here >>

New Books and MagazinesPosted on 6 May 2013
In preparation for the change to our new library system Kōtui, we are unable to process our new books and magazines at present. There is a lot of behind the scenes work being done to enable this major changeover. We will start adding the new magazine issues and books as soon possible but it will be at least 20 May before issues or items come through. We apologise for the delays this will cause.
