Quiet time @ Te Pātikitiki Library

What does Quiet Time involve at Te Pātikitiki ?

Quiet time is intended to make the Te Pātikitiki space more inclusive or sensory-friendly.

In doing so, we agree to:

  • pause collection and distribution of library materials via library carts.
  • turn off our music.
  • turn off as much lighting as practicable.
  • turning down the volume on checkout scanners as well as communication systems such as the telephone.

You can still check-out items from the front desk and the self-checkout machines, and books can be returned at the after-hours slots by the library entrance or at the front desk. 

Mā te wā e hoa! 

Looking forward to seeing you soon.
