Library closure update

Matihiko/Tech Support Librarian from Dinsdale Te Tiwha O Pareiiriwhare

On Monday 28 March, we’re reopening Hillcrest Library and closing Dinsdale Library for the week as our staff shortages continue. Central Library will also resume late-night hours on Thursdays.

You can still get free holds, and you can return books to any library through the return chutes.

Vandalism is costing ratepayers - what can be done to better protect our public spaces?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Vandals have repeatedly damaged public amenities across the Waikato District, leaving ratepayers to pick up the bill. So far in 2025, the cost has climbed to nearly $123,000, reports the Waikato Times.

The council is urging residents to report vandalism as soon as possible.
If you witness vandalism in progress, please contact the police immediately.

We want to know: Do you have ideas on how we can better protect our public spaces?
