Central Library closure
Central Library will be closed for one week from this Saturday (5 March) due to staff shortages. We will review this after one week.

On a happier note - Chartwell, St Andrews, Dinsdale, Hillcrest and Glenview Libraries will remain open. You’ll also still be able to return books to the Central Library while it’s closed through the return chute.
Thanks for bearing with us, we hope this won’t last long!
