The Onehunga Library is a public library located in Onehunga, a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. First established as a public library in March 1855 and housed in the Anglican school house near St Peter's Church, the library grew in scope and was moved to Queen Street in 1870. After closing in the 1890s and reopening in the Onehunga Institute building in 1901, the library committee and Onehunga Borough Council applied for the construction of a Carnegie library, which was opened in 1912 and operated until 1967. In 1970, the library began operating again from the Onehunga Borough Council building, and in 1989 became a part of the Auckland City Libraries system. The current building was constructed in 2003, and features two public sculptures at its entrance, Hautaha (2004) and Matau (1972).
