Days and hours of operation for the library are Monday to Friday, 9am to 1pm and 2 to 4pm.
In line with current public health requirements, a COVID-19 safety plan is in place and those wishing to avail themselves of library services will need to call the library on 6746 2350 and reserve a time to attend and carry out their business.
It should be noted that Quirindi library has a new email address Quirindi.Library@lpsc.nsw.gov.au through which the librarian can be contacted.
As the library's collection of books is in store, people wishing to borrow can phone the librarian to place their order.
Additionally, click and collect via the Central Northern Regional Library website can be used to order your selections or to join the library.
Book deliveries will be made on Wednesdays, so it is suggested that orders be placed either with the librarian or via click and collect on the Monday prior.
Borrowers will be able to pick up their books from Thursday morning.
Books being returned can be placed just inside the front door or on the veranda of the HSS building.
Current magazines are still available at the library so ask the staff. A public access computer is available as are photocopying and scanning services.
In all instances it is necessary to book a time before attending so please call the library first to arrange.
If a library member finds it difficult to attend the HSS building they can discuss arranging home delivery by phoning the librarian.
Meals on Wheels clients can also request delivery of their books with their meals.
LPSC Mayor, Councillor Doug Hawkins, has encouraged library members to call the librarian if they require assistance navigating the interim system.
"The redevelopment of the library precinct will add a fresh dynamism to the CBD with a community hub that will serve library members and the community well into the future," he said.
