The Turakina Public Library
The Turakina Public Library, which was established about 1886, is located in the Turakina Public Hall. There are some 400 volumes in hand, and it is expected that a considerable addition will shortly be made. The committee (1896) were:—Messrs. H. R. Rockel, T. E. Kiernan, R. N. Scannell, R. Glasgow, and D. S. Glasgow; Mr. Rockel is the secretary.
