St Columba's
Presbyterian Church
In the heart of Havelock North for over 150 years
Columba Library
In June 2015 an extensive private library was gifted from the estate of the late Prue Neild – a respected member and Elder Emerita of this Church. The Prue Neild Collection forms the basis of Columba Library which also includes other books donated previously.
Its purpose is to maintain a unique local resource which encourages exploration and deeper understanding of Christian heritage and its contemporary relevance. It is a collection of books which are reflective of contemporary philosophy, scientific thought, spirituality and theological enquiry.
With the above criteria in mind, further donations of books are welcomed. These may be made through the church office. Each gift will be accepted with gratitude and assessed as to its suitability. Should a book be deemed to fall outside the criteria for inclusion it shall firstly be offered back to the donor, and thereafter to other libraries and collections.
