About the Library

Glen Innes Library is one of East Auckland’s most-used branches — sitting in the Glen Innes town centre on Line Road, walking distance from the Glen Innes train station, the local shops and the wider community hub. The branch serves a diverse catchment that includes long-established Pacific and Māori communities, more recent migrant communities and families moving into the redeveloped Tāmaki Regeneration housing.

As part of the Auckland Libraries network, items borrowed at Glen Innes can be returned at any of the 56 branches across the city. The branch runs an active programme of community events, holiday programmes for kids and digital-skills training (JustStartIT) for older adults learning to use computers and smartphones.

Local Glen Innes Context

Glen Innes is one of East Auckland’s most significant regeneration areas — the Tāmaki Regeneration Company has been progressively redeveloping the suburb’s older state-housing areas into mixed-tenure neighbourhoods, with new housing, upgraded streets and renewed public spaces. The library sits within the town-centre revitalisation programme that has reshaped Line Road and the surrounding shops in recent years. The Glen Innes train station next door connects directly to Britomart (around 20 minutes) on the Eastern Line.
