Moss Vale Library to temporarily close during upgrade
Wingecarribee Shire Council is about to embark on building upgrade works at Moss Vale Branch Library as part of the Civic Centre Repair and Refurbishment project.
In order for construction activities to be undertaken safely, a temporary closure of the library is required.
The library will close for approximately 12 months from Saturday 21 December 2019.
Council’s Chief Information Officer John Crawford said that the new look library would provide users with a larger, more accessible and user-friendly community facility.
“We’ve got big plans for the future of Moss Vale Branch Library,” he said.
“Included in the works is an additional 60 square metres of space, new shelving, technology, lighting and air-conditioning.”
During the temporary closure the Rural Outreach and Delivery Service (ROADS) mobile library service will visit Leighton Gardens between 10 am and 4 pm each Friday starting 10 January 2020.
“Access to online collections and resources will still be available during the closure period and patrons are encouraged to use the online catalogue to request specific books that can be collected from the mobile library,” continued Mr Crawford.
Book returns can be made at Council’s Civic Centre located at 68 Elizabeth Street in Moss Vale or anytime at Bowral Central Library or Mittagong Branch Library.
Council thanks residents in advance for their cooperation and apologises for any inconvenience.
