Restoring Westport's Heritage

We want to restore Westport's historic Carnegie Library, the first Carnegie Library in New Zealand, to make it into a cultural centre that will benefit the Westport community for generations to come.

About us

We’re a group of like-minded people who want to see this piece of our history preserved

Our committee is made up of people from all different backgrounds, who are working with the Buller District Council to raise funds to restore the Carnegie Library, to be able to use it as a multipurpose space for art exhibitions, intimate theatre and even public meetings, courses and classes.

More to come 

We hope to be able to bring you exciting updates as we move forward. Please keep an eye on this site for more!
