Ōrewa Library temporary closure for major upgrade
Ōrewa Library is getting a major makeover! This exciting transformation will begin in June. A temporary mini library will be set up nearby at the Ōrewa Community Centre.
This major upgrade will address ongoing maintenance needs and ensure the library continues to meet the growing demand from our community.
What to expect during the closure
Ōrewa library will be closed from 10 June for approximately 15 months to allow for construction. For the first month, you can access services and council resources at Whangaparoa Library. From 8 July a temporary mini library will open in the small hall at the nearby Ōrewa Community Centre.
Our dedicated library staff are committed to minimising disruption. They'll be readily available at the mini library to assist you with accessing available services and resources.
Why the upgrade?
The upgrade will make the library more usable by rearranging the existing space and adding a new middle floor. This will create much-needed extra space and address the leaky roof with a modern, pitched design.
A brighter future for Ōrewa Library
We understand a temporary closure might cause inconvenience, but the wait will be well worth it! The upgraded library will feature a more open and inviting downstairs area. Plus, patrons can expect dedicated relaxation spaces, a new elevator and a spacious children's library area.
The new mezzanine floor will offer a flexible space for various uses, including studying, community programs and meetings. The entire layout will be improved, providing better accessibility and enhanced security. Read more about the Ōrewa Library upgrade on OurAuckland.
