310 Aucklanders trespassed from libraries between Jan 2016 and Feb 2020
Stabbing staff with scissors, masturbating, being drunk and having sex are just some of the reasons why 310 people were booted and banned from Auckland Council libraries in the last four years.
The majority of the trespasses were for threatening behaviour (51), abusive behaviour (41), theft (33), graffiti tagging (14) and intoxication (nine).
Five people were trespassed from several libraries for multiple offences or where serious types of offending posed significant risk to staff at other sites. Three people were banned from all libraries for offences listed in the article below.
Despite this, an Auckland Council spokeswoman said its libraries were safe and welcoming for Aucklanders wanting to connect, read and learn, and trespass notices were issued in "rare and isolated cases, with no evident patterns". Library staff were trained in conflict awareness.

🐾 Adopt Shasha🐾
Hello neighbours
Meet Shasha, our beloved 11-year-old family dog! Currently living with my in-laws, Shasha is a perfectly healthy and good-spirited pup who brings joy to everyone she meets.
Shasha loves short walks and playing outdoors, but she also enjoys her downtime, often resting peacefully while keeping you company. She thrives on companionship and doesn’t like being alone, making her an ideal addition to a family that can offer her the love and attention she craves.
Due to my in-laws’ upcoming travels, they’ve made the difficult decision to find Shasha a new home where she will feel secure and cherished.
We’re not asking for any money—just a caring family that will give Shasha the affectionate home she deserves.
If you’re ready to welcome this sweet girl into your life and provide her with the love she needs, please reach out. Let’s make Shasha a part of your family! 🐶❤️
