Our digital direction

We're aiming to achieve four outcomes for the Kāpiti community through our digital inclusion work. These were set up by our former digital inclusion specialist, Dr Simon Laing.

Access

We want to provide the Kāpiti community with access to the world of information using the latest digital technologies.

Motivation

We’d like the Kāpiti community to be excited about connecting and engaging with the digital world.

Skills

We want to help make sure the Kāpiti community has the necessary capabilities to act within the digital world in a safe, productive and secure way.

Trust

Our aim is for Kāpiti libraries to be trusted by and engaged with our communities to make learning and the use of digital technology possible and accessible.
