Woden library is set to reopen at 10am on Monday, November 18th following upgrade works.
The library was temporarily closed in May to allow the works to be undertaken. The upgrades include:
- replacing the heating and air conditioning system
- renovating the ground floor bathroom
- new LED lighting
- roof repairs and other improvements.
“We thank the community for their patience as these important works were completed,” the ACT Government said in a statement.
A pop-up library at 26 Corinna Street in Phillip has been open during the closure.
The reading room, public PCs, children’s room and community rooms at the pop-up library will be closed from 5.30pm on Wednesday, November 13th. The pop-up library will remain open on Thursday 14th and Friday 15th November, between 10am and 5.30pm, to allow community members to return items and collect reservations. The pop-up library will permanently close at 5.30pm on Friday, November 15th.
“On Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 November 2024 reservations ready for collection will be held and will be available at the Woden library for collection from Monday 18 November. During this time, we encourage you to access the digital resources available with your Libraries ACT membership.”
The return chute at Woden library will be open and you can return items 24/7. You can now also make bookings for community room hire at Woden library, including for the HIVE, from Monday, November 18th.
A range of events and activities are scheduled at the Woden library when it reopens. These include drag story time, giggly wiggly balloon story time with Chloe Lim and an ACT Book of the Year author talk panel.
