Thames Library is closing for just over a week this May, while we replace the carpet in the public area. The library will be closed from 12pm on Saturday 4 May until Monday 13 May. We’ll re-open at 9am on Tuesday 14 May.
During the closure, all the books and furniture in the public area of the building will be moved into storage containers in the car park, and the carpet will be removed and replaced. There will be limited access to the car park during this time.
While the library is closed, reserved items will not be available to pick up. Items cannot be returned to Thames Library during this period but can be returned to our two other District Libraries in Mercury Bay and Tairua.
Community Libraries
There are six independently-run Community Libraries on the Coromandel Peninsula.
Community Libraries are run by the local community instead of our district council. They may receive some funding from the local body or other community groups. Please get in touch with your local Community Library to learn more about their hours, rules and how to join.
