Te Aroha Library

What do you think we should do?

Proposed option: Investigate and deliver a suitable building to continue providing library services in Te Aroha?

Any other comments on Te Aroha Library:

I support the case to investigate whether to keep the library in its current premise and refurbish the premise, or to shift it somewhere more suitable eg merging with the isite at a new premise. For a small town, it would make sense to have the two together if financially necessary. However, I support keeping the library where it is, if possible. This landmark historic building is an absolute gem and if it isn’t used for the library, it shouldn’t be left to degrade further, rather council should have a plan in place about what will happen with it.
