Skinny Jump

Waitaki District Libraries is an authorised Skinny Jump partner.

Skinny Jump is for those who don't have an Internet broadband connection at home because cost is a barrier.

We specifically support those most at risk of digital exclusion, as identified in the government's digital inclusion blueprint.

If one or more of the following sounds like you, then you will be eligible:

Families with children
Job seekers
Seniors
People with disabilities
Refugees and migrant communities
Those in social housing
Rural communities

Give us a ring on 03 433 0850 to make an appointment to see one of our librarians or come in to to see us at the Ōamaru Public Library to fill out a form (we can also help you with the form if you need it).

If you don't live in Ōamaru or can't see us in person, don't worry, we can also order you a modem on the phone - but please be aware that your modem could take up to 5 days to be couriered to you.

To find out more about Skinny Jump, you can go to their website and if you're feeling particularly brave, you can use their address checker to make sure you are in the coverage area and also try downloading their Skinny Jump App.
