- Old vinyl returned to WCL after 30 years
  - 9 Oct 2024
  - Wellington City Libraries
  - We look back at our past and current vinyl collections, as some records from our original collection have recently been returned to us after 30 years. Wellington City Libraries has always had a music collection for our patrons to borrow. The original format for this service was, of course, vinyl. The Wellington City Library vinyl collection dates back to when the 1939 Library (later to become the City Art Gallery in 1992) opened. At that time they wanted to make a statement with ‘new’ and ‘modern’ collections, the establishment of a “gramophone record” collection and a listening room was part of that.

- The threat to the Central Library
  - 3 Apr 2024
  - Wellington Scoop
  - For many of us, the word “library” has comfortable connotations. It suggests rows of books in which to browse, make discoveries and pass them on to friends and family. Beyond being a resource centre for culture and practical information, a typical library is also a community meeting ground and a safe drop-in space for kids after school. It is also one of the relatively few public destinations in town where people don’t have to spend money. At present, the content and function of libraries – and the funding for them – are in flux. Those on higher incomes don’t need or use libraries as much.
