Ōtorohanga Library’s New Year’s Resolution: A Fresh New Look for 2026 🎨

The Ōtorohanga Library is starting 2026 with a refresh!
In February, our main library space will be getting a much-needed repaint — a fresh lick of paint to brighten the place up for the year ahead.

When is this happening?
🗓 Monday 9 – Friday 13 February

To make this happen, we’ll need to temporarily vacate the main library room for the week. The good news is — the library will still be open, just operating a little differently.

What to expect during the repaint

• We’ll be operating from our Programmes Room for the week
• A small selection of books will be available to browse and borrow
• Wi-Fi, photocopying and scanning services will still be available
• If you’re after a specific item, staff can retrieve books from the main library for you

Returns & due dates 📚

To make things easier:

• Please don’t return books during this week
• No items will be due between 9–13 February

Programmes pause

Our regular programmes will take a short break:

• Wriggle & Rhyme
• Storytime
• STEM

All programmes will resume the following week, from Monday 16 February.

Thank you for your patience while we give the library a fresh new look — we can’t wait to welcome you back into a brighter, refreshed space!
