Libraries preparing to open
New Zealand will be at Alert 2 on Thursday and our Waipā District Council’s libraries are preparing to reopen.
From Monday 18 May to Friday 22 May our after hours returns slots will be open. We will not be open to patrons during this week, but we invite patrons who wish to take advantage of a click and collect service to do so by either phone, email, Facebook message or our holds service (online or via Bookmyne). We will contact you when your items are ready and allocate you a time to collect them from the foyer. Our hours of operation will be 9am to 5pm. Our phones will be operational then.
From Monday 25 May we will be open to patrons from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. A number of restrictions will be in place which are covered in our Alert Level 2 FAQs (available from our website). We are also putting together a short video on what to expect. Keep an eye on our Facebook page.
