History
St Heliers Library was first opened in 1926 as the Tamaki West Road Board offices and fire station, but was transitioned into a public library in 1931.[1]
The library underwent earthquake strengthening and renewal work in 2022 after being twice assessed as earthquake prone. It received funding from the Auckland Council seismic regional programme for this work.[1] In addition to seismic strengthening, the roof and windows were replaced and original panelling and other features were discovered and preserved.[2][3] The library reopened on the 15th of August 2023. Deputy Mayor Desley Simpson said at the opening that "as a result of Auckland Council investment, our beautiful St Heliers library is future-proofed for many generations to come.”[2]
