In November 2002 Western Bay of Plenty District Council allocated a room in the Katikati Library and Information Centre for use by people keen to preserve the history of the area. The room is staffed by volunteers who work to gather, store and share information about Katikati and the district. They don't have a phone or email, but you can snailmail them at:
