New look for two Christchurch City Libraries
9 May 2003
The Mobile Library and Hornby Library will both receive a facelift during
May and June.
This will be the first refurbishment of the Mobile
Library in 13 years, Christchurch
City Libraries 0utreach and Special
Needs Manager,
Erina Parks says
“
It will be great to have a fresh new look. Unfortunately it means
we will have to take the mobile bus off the road but we are doing
as much as we can to minimize this inconvenience. We know how valuable
this service
is to our customers. ”
The Mobile Library will be closed from 19 May
to 22 June and will resume its normal timetable on Monday 23 June.
Customers are being
encouraged to take out extra books before the closure and those
who have requested
reserves will be contacted to find the best option for them to
collect their items. Return boxes will still be cleared weekly
and special arrangements
have been made for customers who use the talking book service.
Hornby
Library customers will soon be able to enter the library through
new automatic doors as well as enjoy more pleasant surroundings
including new flooring, paint and better displayed items.
The Library
will be closed 19 May to 15 June so the changes can be made. Hornby
Community Librarian Roberta MacLean says “We’re
excited about the improvements. We’ll be able to offer our customers
a much more attractive place to visit and spend their time. ”
Hornby
Library customers are being encouraged to collect reserves from
Fendalton Library or phone 941 7923 to organise a different
collection point. Longer loan periods have also been applied
to any items taken out
from Hornby Library from the end of April so that items do not
need to be returned until after the library re-opens. Items can
still be returned at
the library.
