Lyttelton Library closing for heating upgrade
Lyttelton Library will be closed from February 20 to March 13 while the building's old boiler is replaced with a modern air conditioning system.
Christchurch City Council head of libraries and information Carolyn Robertson said the new system would provide cost-efficient heating and cooling to make visits to the library much more comfortable for everyone.
“The current boiler at Lyttelton Library needs to be restarted three
or four times a week, especially during winter, which makes heating
the building far more costly than it needs to be.”
Work to decommission the boiler and remove the chimney starts on
Monday (February 13), but won't affect visitors until the following Monday (February 20), when the
building will close to allow the HVAC and ducts to be installed
and the existing radiant heaters to be removed.
The building is scheduled to reopen on Monday, March 13.
“We won't offer a temporary library service in this case due to the
relatively short period of closure, but our mobile library will be
visiting a couple of times each week,” Robertson said.
"We apologise for any inconvenience, and we’ll be excited to reopen
our doors in mid-March.”
The nearest alternative libraries are Matuku Takotako: Sumner Centre,
South Library and Linwood Library. All Christchurch City Libraries
items may be returned to any of our libraries around the city and
Banks Peninsula.
The free wi-fi at Lyttelton Library will remain on offer as normal.
