NZLS Book & Equipment Libraries
We have 2 libraries with a number of items that are available for members to borrow.
The Book Library includes books, patterns, videos and library boxes.
The Equipment Library includes bobbins, pillows and miscellaneous items.
Library boxes are file boxes containing a variety of magazines and news letters from groups all over the world that the society has received in a certain year. These are lent out to groups or individuals on a random basis within New Zealand for the period of a year. If you wish to borrow one of these please contact the librarian and she will inform you of the costs involved.
To borrow any of the following items at any time from the library there is a $2 charge and postage costs are to be covered by the borrower.
Some of the books available are listed below. A full list can be down loaded here -
