Library Refurbishment
The Vincent Library and Local History Centre will be undertaking a refurbishment to improve the layout, comfort and usability of the library space. This work supports our ongoing commitment to providing a welcoming and accessible space to serve as the lounge room of the community.
To safely complete this work, the library building will be closed for the month of June, reopening on Monday 6 July. During the closure, new shelving will be installed and the layout updated to make the library easier to browse, more comfortable to use and better suited to community needs.
To reduce disruption, loan limits will be increased and due dates extended so items borrowed before June are not due back during the closure period. The after‑hours returns chute will remain available, and Books on Wheels deliveries will continue.
Members will also continue to have access to the library’s digital collection, including eBooks, eAudiobooks and online resources. The online catalogue and library app will remain available for browsing and placing holds. Find out how to access our eLibrary here.
The closure period will also be used to refresh library programs and services based on community feedback. This includes exploring flexible and creative ways to deliver programs, such as story times held out in the community, and trialing new formats and locations for library activities. Further information about updated programs will be shared closer to reopening.
Public PCs and printing will not be available on-site during June. Library members are welcome to access these services at nearby libraries, including:
We appreciate the community’s patience while this work is completed and look forward to welcoming everyone back in July to a refreshed, more welcoming library space.
