The National Library of the Cook Islands – Runanga Puka is the national library of the Cook Islands.[1]
Planning for the library began in 1961, with a committee backed by the Resident Commissioner Oliver Dare.[2] 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.[2] Plans for the library were drawn up by New Zealand Ministry of Works architect Kenneth Mills.[3]
