Central Library closure
Central Library will be closed for one week from this Saturday (5 March) due to staff shortages. We will review this after one week.
We’re as disappointed as you are, but isolation requirements mean we simply do not have enough people to keep all six libraries running safely.
On a happier note - Chartwell, St Andrews, Dinsdale, Hillcrest and Glenview Libraries will remain open. You’ll also still be able to return books to the Central Library while it’s closed through the return chute.
Thanks for bearing with us, we hope this won’t last long!

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