Palmerston North City Library, Public library in Palmerston North, New Zealand.
The library occupies the restored C M Ross building in The Square, featuring multiple floors dedicated to diverse collections and community spaces.
The library's origins date back to 1876 when it started as a subscription-based reading room, later becoming free for all residents in 1938.
The facility hosts Kōrero Kawhe sessions where participants practice te reo Māori language and engage with Pacific Island cultural resources.
The central location operates alongside four branch libraries in Highbury, Roslyn, Awapuni, and Ashhurst, plus a Mobile Library Bus service.
The library building, formerly a D.I.C. department store, received Category II heritage status from Heritage New Zealand in 1982.
