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.
We also offer meeting rooms for hire.
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. We will contact you when requested item(s) have arrived to your chosen library and are available for pick-up.

LEAVE FINES BEHIND
Buller District Libraries no longer charges fines for overdue items.
We have also canceled existing fines from all library accounts, giving everyone a fresh start.
We're very excited about this change as we believe in actively working to eliminate barriers to encourage community-wide use of the Library's vital materials, resources, and services.
