Join us at the library to celebrate Wellington Pride with an only-slightly-more-than-usual rainbow-themed Youth Night! We’ll be open after-hours for rainbow and takatāpui youth (and friends! But no adults!) to socialise, have fun, and chat to a librarian about your favourite queer literature. As usual, there will be pizza, gaming, movies, badge-making, other crafts, and quiet spaces to chill out in.

Our Youth Nights are totally free (pizza included!) but you do need to be 14+ (and still at High School!) in order to come, so please arrive prepared to show your school ID. Once you’re in, our spaces are yours!

Arrive and sign in by 6pm if you want to be fed.

Nau mai rā tātou katoa - everybody is welcome.

A main bus stop for bus routes 1, 19, 22, 24, 52, and 60 is right outside the library, and across the road is the Johnsonville railway station.
