Buller District Libraries consists of the Sue Thomson Casey Memorial Library in Westport and the Inangahua County Library in Reefton. Our libraries offer community groups, events, and classes for adults and children. We provide access to computers and WiFi, newspapers, council information, local history archives, scanning, printing and laminating.
Books and resources in our libraries are available for all Buller residents regardless of location. Any item available in Reefton can be put on hold and borrowed by those in Westport and vice versa.
1000 Books Before School
The 1000 Books Before School programme encourages children, along with their parents and caregivers, to read 1000 books during the five years between birth and starting their first year of school.
Join the programme at Buller District Libraries and get your ‘1000 Books Before School’ startup pack and a FREE book! The pack includes your first reading chart, book bag, sticker character map, brochure, and a folder to keep all of your reading programme material together.
