FAQ

  • Self‑guided visits allow a class to explore the library at their own pace. We ask that kaiako and supervising adults remain with their ākonga at all times and contact the library before their visit as a courtesy. There are scavenger hunts downloadable from Kura Takiura for them to use. 

    Groups can explore exhibitions at Tūranga and interact with activities such as the BookBots Challenge or scavenger hunts.
