On The Move
We’ll soon be moving into our new civic centre and library building, Te Whare Whakatere.
The new library is over twice as large as our current building! It includes community meeting spaces, a performance space, makerspace, learning lab and sound studio.
We can't wait to share it with you, but, there’s a few things you need to know!
We’ll be closing for three weeks.
We're open in our current building until the end of the year. We'll then close from 4pm, Sunday 31 December until 8.30am, Monday 22 January when we reopen in the new library. This will allow us to move over 60,000 books (and other items) to the new building. Make sure you come and stock up on books before we close the doors!
Returning books?
Books issued before the closure will not be due back until we open in the new building. You'll still be able to return books to us at any time via the return slot at the entrance of the old library building.
