If you look on Te Puna there is a record for Auckland Libraries. This means either it was received and later withdrawn or ordered and subsequently cancelled. You can also see what holdings there are of other versions in New Zealand libraries. https://tepuna.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1246538956
Thanks for recording the problematic behaviour of the Wellington City Library. Belatedly I have written this to the library today.
To whom should I direct an official complaint about the discriminatory and prejudicial purchasing policy of the library?
I am deeply concerned that library staff are refusing to purchase books that are of good quality, that are written by best selling authors and that are about important matters of the public interest.

The two titles of particular concern are:
Irreversible Damage by Abigail Shrier
Trans by Helen Joyce
My experience has been similar to the person who wrote this article. https://argumentswithfriends.substack.com/p/do-wellington-city-libraries-serve and I know many other people have also requested that these books be purchased.
Sincerely

Thank you Jan for raising your concerns too with WCL.
