I got forwarded this email today:
Buried in the Wellington City Council’s draft annual plan for 2010/11 there is a major threat to our current library system – with potential for Wadestown, Brooklyn, Island Bay and Khandallah to lose their libraries.
Please see the outline attached here: Wellington Libraries.
Public meetings are being held by the Council to discuss the draft ‘Community Facilities Policy and Implementation Plan’: ·
7.00pm Wednesday 21 April Johnsonville Library, 5 Broderick Road, Johnsonville ·
6.00pm Thursday 22 April Mezzanine floor, Central Library, 65 Victoria Street, Wellington ·
12.30pm Monday 26 April Wellington Regional Aquatic Centre, Kilbirnie Crescent, Kilbirnie

Jan, thanks for the info. You should send this to the folks at http://wellingtonista.com/ as well.
Thanks for alerting us to this, I had no idea this was in the works. I was very disappointed and angry when the mobile library was shut down, and I am very worried and frustrated to hear of yet more potential restrictions to libraries in our local communities. You’ve motivated me to read the draft annual plan and make a submission on it – cheers!
Jan, you should send this onto http://wellingtonista.com/ as well. Joss
Thanks for the idea Joss – done.
Hopefully they’ll spread the word.
Cheers Karen, I had no idea either. It’s really worrying when things get buried like this.
