CHB District Libraries is a part of the Aotearoa People's Network and can offer FREE use of 6 computer terminals with full multi media facilities at each branch. One computer at each branch is an express computer and there is a time limit on these. You can also book time on the computers by ringing or going into the libraries.

Both libraries are also free wifi hotspots.
What is a hotspot? - It is an area where a wireless access point enables users carrying wireless-enabled laptops to log on to the Internet. The limiting condition is that the access point is configured to broadcast its presence and does not require authorization for access. Generally, WiFI hotspots are located in public places like airports, train stations, libraries, marinas, convention centers, coffee shops and hotels.
There is a small charge for printing using these services
Our Books at Home service provides library material on a regular basis for people who, for reasons of ill health or disability, are unable to come to the library.
Fiction, non-fiction, large print and talking books, magazines and videos may all be borrowed through the service.
If you are eligible to receive the CHB Libraries Books at Home service please e-mail the Library. You will be interviewed in your own home to find out your reading tastes, and to join you up if you are not already a library member.
You will need to phone the Waipukurau library or Waipawa Library on +64 6 -857 8060 for staff to bring your books to you.
Books at any library in New Zealand can be obtained through our Interloan service. Charges apply. For CHB Libraries Interloan service please contact Ngai Deckard
You can reserve any CHB Library book that may be presently on loan via the Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) or by telephoning the library staff.
Providing the book has not been requested by another borrower, an extension of time may be obtained by presenting the book at your library or phoning and requesting a renewal.
