What is the free internet service?

Wellington City Libraries provides free access to many websites whose addresses end in ".nz". We also provide access to thousands of international websites as well, including reference websites, dictionaries, entertainment and educational websites - along with our own catalogues & online databases.

Each 'free internet session' lasts for 30 minutes which allows you to use either browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox) on this computer, as well as software such as Microsoft Office. If you have any questions, please ask a library staff member.
