Libraries reopen
Posted on 25 May 2020
After being closed for nine weeks our Waipā District Council’s libraries are now open (from Monday 25 May).
It has been a busy time for staff during the closure. As well as cataloguing and processing numerous new books, staff have been able to stocktake each of our collections.
While we will be open to patrons, our top priority is to ensure your safety and the safety of our staff so we ask that you work with us and adhere to restrictions which will be in place.
