So you can still keep reading during this period, you'll be able to borrow more books for longer and the Library Management System has been adjusted so that you won't be getting any overdue fines during the shutdown period.
There are two pop up libraries in town - one at the Conservatorium doors, and one in the Civic.
You are able to take any of the books on these shelves, or in the boxes, but please don't leave your checked out library books in these locations.
There'll be a trolley outside the library doors on which you can return your library books and they will then be checked off your card.
The after-hours chute to the left of the door won't be operating until December 20, 2019 so after that date, if you're in town, even though the library isn't open, you can pop your books down the chute and they will be returned by the library staff when the library reopens.
All library programs - Brain Training @ the Library, Junior Brain Games, Toddler Time, and Bookends Literacy Assist will carry on as usual, but in a different location! Just come to the library door as usual, and the library staff will escort you to the temporary location.
New books added to the library this week include The camping cookbook: 80 great recipes for cooking outdoors by Viola Lex and Nico Stanitzok. Yummy pictures, easy to follow instructions, and thankfully in these days of total fire bans, many of the recipes are no cook, low cook inside or require resting in the fridge.
'Eight women gone. One man on the run' this is the description of Sandra Brown's latest thriller Outfox - it's a cat and mouse game between FBI agent Drex Easton and Weston Graham, his nemesis.
The stationery shop of Tehran by Marjan Kamal 'paints an evocative portrait of 1950s Iran and its political upheaval ... simultaneously briskly paced and deeply moving ...'
See you soon at the library!
