East Coast Bays Library temporary closure

We are transforming East Coast Bays Library to put you at its heart. 

With over 1.5 million visits in the last five years, East Coast Bays Library is an important and much-loved community facility in the area. As with all high-use facilities, regular, planned maintenance is needed to continue servicing the community well.

East Coast Bays Library will be temporarily closed from Friday 12 March 2021 for planned building maintenance and refurbishment.

The work will take approximately five months and is part of the Auckland Council Long-Term Plan (LTP) supported by the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board.

What work is being done?

• Remedial, maintenance and renovation work throughout the building
• Reconfiguration of the main entrance and some internal areas to improve customer service
• Upgrading existing public toilet facilities and increasing the number of available toilets
• Improving and expanding space for fiction and children's collections
• Creating a new, dedicated space for community programmes and events.
