Our books on Maaori topics form the Maaori Studies Collection. The items in this collection are interfiled with Adult Non-fiction, and have a distinctive label for ease of identification, as shown below.
We have a number of children's books written in Te Reo Maaori. This includes mostly picture books, as well as some graded readers and chapter books. These books can be found under Junior Non-Fiction 899.442, however some libraries keep these books with the other picture books or readers - please ask a librarian if you need assistance to find anything.
When searching in our catalogue, you can limit search results to the Maaori Studies shelf location to view only items in this collection.
Please note that when limiting a search to Adult Non-fiction, Maaori Studies will be excluded as it is considered a separate collection. It is therefore a good idea to select both Adult Non-fiction and Maaori Studies for general non-fiction searches.
