About Aramoho Library
Aramoho Library serves the Aramoho community as a local access point for the Whanganui District Library network. As a branch library, it offers a smaller collection than the central Davis Library but provides a convenient option for residents in the northern suburbs to borrow and return items without travelling to the city.
Items can be requested and transferred between all branches of the network — so if a title isn’t available on the shelf at Aramoho, it can be sourced from the main Davis Library collection in Queens Park and held for pickup. The branch is open Tuesday through Friday from 11am to 3pm, and is closed on Mondays and weekends.
Aramoho itself is a historic suburb along the Whanganui River, known for its community character and proximity to the river bank. The library is part of a broader Whanganui District Council initiative to maintain local library access points across the city’s suburbs.
