Fendalton Library and Service Centre reopens on Monday 29 July
Fendalton Library and Service Centre reopens on Monday 29 July after five months of refurbishment and repairs.
During the closure, the Citizen & Customer Services team have done a great job providing centre services at a nearby pop-up centre in Fendalton Village. They’ll be returning to a new customer service desk which brings staff out into an open space.
All of the usual services will be available, including postal services. Facility users will also appreciate a new heating and ventilation system which will provide a much more pleasant and consistent building temperature, and the addition of several new car parks behind the library.
New baby?
Hi - I'm Olivia from Stuff (and a new mum myself).
I'm writing an article on the different challenges faced by parents around the country, from midwife availability and getting on wait lists for childcare right down to the food at birthing centres.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
