National Library Of The Cook Islands
The National Library of the Cook Islands – Runanga Puka is the national library of the Cook Islands.
Planning for the library began in 1961, with a committee backed by the Resident Commissioner Oliver Dare. A site on Taputapuatea was donated by the Makea Nui Ariki and the Parliament of the Cook Islands agreed to match donations with public money. Plans for the library were drawn up by New Zealand Ministry of Works architect Kenneth Mills.
