Not only are we right in the middle of our big re-carpeting project in Westport this week, but from 8.00 pm Wednesday 15 May, until Friday 17 May we will also be undertaking scheduled maintenance for up to 48 hours.
This will be a busy, manual two days for our library staff. There may be long queues, so please bear with us :)

On Thursday 16, and Friday 17, if you issue a book from our libraries in Westport and Reefton, you will need to bring your library card. Unfortunately, the database will be offline, so we can't ‘look you up’ in the system if you don’t have your card. We also won’t be able to take any payments.

During this time, we can only issue library items. We won’t be able to access your accounts, extend issues, or place reserves.

From 8.00 pm Wednesday, our Library App, eBook Apps Libby and Borrow Box, Kanopy, and the online catalogue may not function correctly (in fact, they may not work at all). So, if you're an eReader you will need to revert to the paper version for these days.

Our APNK internet services, scanning, printing and photocopying will still be available at both locations.

This is quite a confusing time for our Westport Library users. Only children's books, DVDs, magazines, young-adult books, jigsaws and graphic novels are available this week, as all the adult books are packed away. Reefton's full collection is still available.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused. We hope we can get back to full services sooner than 48 hours.
Ngā mihi nui.
