New Plymouth District Council oversees six libraries, including the world’s first purpose-built, fully integrated museum, library and visitor information centre — Puki Ariki.
As part of a journey of change to update and refresh their sites, a selection of library counters and help pods were sourced from Instinct Furniture; aimed at facilitating a more interactive environment, to encourage the sharing of knowledge and enhance the overall experience for both the customer and staff member.
A GLO 1600 counter had already been trialed at Puke Ariki Library, and Gary Collins, Manager Exhibition Projects at Puke Ariki, was already familiar with the advantages an Instinct counter provides — ergonomically designed for interaction and mobility, with touch-button height adjustability.

Continuing with the modernisation, Puki Ariki Library chose three new generation YAKETY YAK 1200 pods. These were positioned throughout the library as staff help points.

At Puki Ariki Museum and Visitor Information Centre, GLO 2000 Single Oval became a central help / service point while YAKETY YAK 1200 was teamed with our YAKETY YAK Support Caddy as a second help point. These were supported by our YAKETY YAK Cash / Eftpos Module and our STAND ALONE Storage Module.

GLO was also the counter of choice for New Plymouth’s Bell Block, Inglewood and Waitara Libraries. Both GLO 1600 and our larger GLO 2000 Single Oval, provide the option of either a left or right sided cantilevered meeting oval — the ideal place to engage with customers at the chosen height.
At Bell Block Library GLO 1600s and our CASH / EFTPOS Module form a dynamic circulation area for help and issues.
GLO 1600 is designed with ergonomic curves and a cantilevered meeting end.
At Inglewood Library, GLO 2000 Single Ovals provide extra desktop space, teamed with our CASH / EFTPOS Module to provide an inviting front of house.
