Come and see us! Libraries reopening Thursday 9 September

We’d like to thank you for your support – and we can’t wait to see you soon! All libraries will open to the public on Thursday 9 September 2021.

At Alert Level 2: Contact tracing will be in place and everyone must sign in either with the COVID Tracer app, or manually on the slips provided. It’s mandatory to wear a mask indoors where people gather publicly, so please wear your mask when visiting our libraries and facilities.

Entry to all libraries is limited. Government regulations for Alert Level 2 mean we need to limit capacity so that people can maintain physical distancing of 2m from others. The number of people who can use each library at any given time will vary, depending on the size of the facility.

We’ve extended the loan period on all borrowed items to Wednesday 22 September to give you plenty of time to return them.
