Friends of the Libraries are excited about the Council meeting on 22 April when the Library Task Force will be presenting two options to the elected members for Greerton Library extensions. With the Draft Annual Plan advising the already collected $1.8million development contributions will be spent on Greerton Library it appears that at last Greerton will get a library of a workable size.
Friends are looking forward to a library that opens out onto the Village Square and gets rid of the unwelcoming toilets by the current entrance.
Hopefully there will be a meeting room and spaces more suitable for use by book groups and the like plus the provision of all the services the three users of other branches enjoy. The leaky part of the building, currently housing the children's and young people's collections, must surely be being replaced.
Currently the Greerton Library is to be discussed at 3.15pm on Monday 22/04/2013 and Friends of the Libraries will be there.
We do hope that Greerton Library users and supporters will join us to show their support.
