Cook Islands Library
Welcome to the Cook Islands Library
Empowerment through excellence in library and information resources and services for
the sustainable development of Pacific Island peoples.
To advance the University Mission by providing equitable access to excellent library and
information services, resources and facilities for students, faculty and the wider Pacific
community.
In 2021, the Cook Islands Campus Library collection was finally relocated back on-campus after several years of being housed off-site. Work currently continues to create a more focused and up-to-date collection in the library.
The Cook Islands Campus Library holds approximately 3,000 books to support subjects offered via the flexible learning modes. The collections are classified according to the Dewey Decimal scheme.
The Library has seating for 10 readers with 2 PCs for student use.
