New Zealand’s first electric vehicle mobile library
service, Mangaroa, is coming to Upper Hutt Libraries.
Blessed this morning, Thursday 22 July, by Matua Kura Moeahu
of Te Āti Awa, this service will be in addition to the
existing mobile library bus Pūrehurehu and will help to
provide greater access to library resources around Upper
Hutt. This EV service will begin in early September of 2021
visiting various community spaces including schools and rest
homes.
“We are delighted with
Mangaroa, and are very proud to have the first EV mobile
library service in New Zealand,” says Upper Hutt Libraries
