Piha Community Library Trust
Providing a Library Service for the people of Piha, Karekare & Anawhata
The Piha Library, previously run by the Piha Library Committee, is now managed by a registered charitable trust 'Piha Community Library Trust'. The library has been an independent community organisation operating since the 1950s. The Piha Library is situated in the 'hub' of the Piha Village with parking directly outside and has safety gates to keep children safe from traffic. The Piha Library also offers dogs, tied up outside, fresh water while waiting.

The Piha Community Library welcomes new members. We are very proud of the range of books, magazines and DVDs that we offer the people of Piha, Karekare and Anawhata and we trust that you will gain much pleasure from membership.
It is thanks to Mrs Dulcie Ussher and Mrs Tene Erdman that Piha has its own Community Library today. Dulcie Ussher took the first steps in 1959 by approaching the Hamilton based Country Library Service through Piha's Country Woman's Institute.
And so began the Piha Community Library. From that day to this the Piha Library has steadily progressed to what we have today (photo above): a fine collection of quality books, DVDs and Community Publications for the people of Piha, Karekare and Anawhata managed and staffed by volunteers and strongly supported by the TRUSTS
