Summer Hours and loan periods

With the way the temperature has been the past few days it's time to start talking about summer. It's also one way to put off for another day bringing up the 'C' word in great detail (it is mentioned briefly in the following advice).

HOURS
The Libraries in the Rodney area close at 5pm on Friday 24 December.
We will be closed Saturday 25 - Tuesday 28 December and Saturday 1 - Tuesday 4 January over the Christmas and New Year period.
From Wednesday 29 - Friday 31 December the libraries will operate with normal hours but will close at 5pm.
Wellsford, Mahurangi East, Orewa, Helensville and Whangaparaoa libraries will open from 9.30am - 5pm. Warkworth and Kumeu libraries will be open from 9am - 5pm.

Normal opening hours resume on Tuesday 5 January.

LOAN PERIODS

Once again we recognise that as the busy Christmas and holiday period approaches, you have a lot of things to think about as well as getting your library items back on time. So our extended loan periods are back and those checking books out this week will have already noticed that they are not due back to 2011 (which makes the year seem to go even faster)

Our extended loan periods are as follows:

1) Until 31 December 201028-day loans (e.g. books, audio books) will be issued/renewed for 42 days.

2) 11 December 2010 - 8 January 201114-day loans (e.g. magazines, CDs, bestsellers) will be issued/renewed for 28 days.

3) 18 December 2010 - 22 January 20117-day loans (e.g. DVDs, standards) will be issued/renewed for 14 days.

Relax and enjoy the festive season (avoiding the use of the C word) with our extended loans on books and items including magazines and rental DVDs. If you enjoy borrowing a few extra books, now's the time to do it!
