Library to close for refurbishment

Our library will be closed for refurbishment from late May to early July 2026, but our commitment to our community remains front and centre. During this time, we’re installing new shelving, lighting and furniture as well as refreshing the layout to create a more comfortable, accessible and community‑focused space for everyone who walks through our doors.

Even though the building will be closed, your library services are very much open. We’ve planned a range of supports to ensure our community can continue reading and connecting throughout the refurbishment.

  • To keep our community activities thriving Advance Chess, Social Craft Ladies, Mahjong, Social Chess and C.A.K.E. will continue over at the Community Centre. Visit Library Events for the full schedule.

  • The Community Centre will also remain open as a welcoming space where you can sit, relax and read the newspaper.

  • Our much‑loved Baby Rhyme Time and Storytime sessions will take a little break during the closure, but don’t worry they’ll be back in July. Until then, you can keep the fun going at home with our online Baby Rhyme Time videos on Facebook.

  • We have increased loan limits and extended due dates so you can borrow what you need before the closure and keep them until the library reopens.

  • Our Books on Wheels service will continue as usual and you’ll still have full access to our digital collection through the library app and website.

  • The after‑hours returns chute will remain open throughout the refurbishment if you’d like to return items early.

You can also continue to enjoy library events and services at the following nearby libraries:

We thank you for your patience and support while we make these improvements. We can’t wait to welcome you back into a space designed with you in mind.
