Howick Library to close for 6months for vital roof renewal

Howick Library needs a new roof and while the works are underway the library will need to close for around six months. Staff explored keeping it open but it was too complex, expensive, and would take longer.

There will be a temporary pop up service available in the Howick War Memorial Hall from Sunday to Friday (not Saturday to accommodate the market).

Services available at the pop-up:

• Customer holds pick-up

• Book returns

• Book a Librarian

• Customer service

• Skinny Jump modem sign-ups

• No on-site collection to borrow apart from requested items

Howick will close on Monday 16 February and the pop up service will commence a week later (to allow time to transfer people and equipment).

Full services are available at the other local libraries - Highland Park, Pakūranga, and Botany. Soon the Ormiston Pop Up Library will also be available.
