Kaupapa Māori

Nau mai, haere mai, kuhu mai!

Waitaki District Libraries are constantly working in consultation with mana whenua to bring you an increased presence of mātauranga Māori (knowledge and information of things Māori) in both the physical and digital spaces of our libraries.

You will notice this evolving through our website as we add digital content as well as information regarding our libraries' delivery of te reo and tikanga Māori community learning programs and public events.

“Mā te kimi ka kite,

Mā te kite ka mōhio,

Mā te mōhio ka mārama.”

"Seek and discover, discover and know, know and become enlightened."
