Glenview Library - Mangakootukutuku

Te Ohomauri o Kirikiriroa, Hamilton City Libraries have been an essential part of life for Hamilton Kirikiriroa for over 150 years. Libraries exist to help people find their place in the hapori (community), provide access to reliable information and services, and help people connect through the koorero (stories) they love.

Glenview Library - Mangakootukutuku services the Southwestern suburbs of  Hamilton. Conveniently attached to the Glenview shopping centre. Access via MacDonald Road.

Mangakootukutuku refers to the name of the gully that runs under State Highway 3 near Collins Road. The Kootukutuku (Fuchsia Excorticata) grew in abundance along its gully system. Its berries were known as koonini and were traditionally gathered as a food source by ancient Maaori.
