Temporary Rolling Closures Due to Staffing Challenges

Due to several factors, including vacancies and illnesses, Hastings District Libraries are currently experiencing low staffing levels on Saturdays.

To maintain a sustainable workload and ensure staff well-being, while also minimising disruption to customers, Libraries will be implementing rolling closures of Flaxmere and Havelock North Libraries on alternating Saturdays until Christmas.

Scheduled Closure Dates

  • Flaxmere Library: 23rd November, 7th December, 21st December
  • Havelock North Library: 30th November, 14th December

Both Flaxmere and Havelock North Libraries will also close for the Christmas/New Year break from 25nd December to 6th January. Hastings hours will remain unchanged, until the advertised Christmas hours come in effect.

We understand the importance of maintaining access to library services and are actively working on long-term solutions, including filling vacancies and improving staffing structures. Thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate these temporary changes.
