We are making a small adjustment to the opening hours at Central Library. The new hours apply from Monday 22 June.
Published on 15 June 2026
From Monday 22 June, Central Library will have new opening hours. We have reviewed how and when our community uses library services, looking at usage data and customer feedback received since the last review in 2019.
Opening hours at Pinehaven Library will stay the same across opening days and times.
The opening hours shown below apply from Monday, 22 June 2026.
These small adjustments to the opening hours better reflect when our customers want to visit. We often have a queue at the door before 9.30am on a weekday, but late nights and weekend mornings are very quiet.
We are keeping the 9.30am opening time on Wednesday for all-staff training sessions and meetings.
Thank you for your support while we settle into the new opening hours. Whether you visit us regularly, or come in every so often when the reading mood strikes or to attend an event, we hope to welcome you in again soon!
