Our knowledge centre is the first of its type in New Zealand and maybe the world. That's because it houses a full public library, museum and visitor information centre, which flow from one to another through the sharing of knowledge.

Through the use of new technology, we are able to bring Taranaki to the world and the world to Taranaki.
