Cassette to Digital project

We have embarked on a major project to transform our Library to a state-of-the-art digital service. All of the library’s borrowers are now using the new DAISY player and receiving books and magazines on DAISY CDs. With the infrastructure now in place and over 6,000 titles available in the digital library, the project is almost complete.

You can phone the library on 0800 24 33 33 option 2 or (09) 355 6969 or email library@rnzfb.org.nz

Find out everything you need to know about the C2D project on our frequently asked questions page.

Capital campaign

We are also working on a major capital campaign fundraising programme to support this project, and to enable us to digitise the library service. We are currently fundraising to vastly increase the number of books available in a digital format, so that our members have a range of books and information available to them. To find out more about this campaign or to make a donation, please visit our fundraising page, phone 0800 366 283 or email bspeak@rnzfb.org.nz
