Update on library services

Fiona from Wellington City Libraries and Community Spaces

Kia ora, Wellington libraries are closed temporarily to support efforts in reducing the spread of Coronavirus.

If you have any library items on loan, their due dates have been extended automatically to at least Tuesday 28 September. Please keep them at home while our libraries are shut.

If you have reserved items ready for pickup, they will be held until one week after libraries reopen.

While we are closed, library members can access a range of online resources in our eLibrary - including storytimes, eBooks, magazines, movies, and online courses.

If you have any questions, please contact Wellington City Libraries by email (enquiries@wcl.govt.nz), calling 04 801 4040 during office hours or message us on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.

Combining biking with bus travel

Sue from Brooklyn

Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
