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 am 78 years old and have lived in Te Aroha for 14 years now. I visit the library once a week normally and have found it to be a wonderful place. The staff are extremely helpful and I have always found plenty of books to suit me, or have ordered them from the other libraries in the triangle. While I can understand the need to make the building safe, or find an alternative venue to operate from, it would be a great loss to me personally, and many others I am sure, were you to close the facility in Te Aroha altogether. Not every person can easily drive elsewhere to access a library.

Town Centre infrastructure
What do you think we should do?
Proposed option: Prioritise maintenance and renewals and Pride of Place?
Te Aroha Spa
What do you think we should do?
Proposed option: Continue investigating options?
Any other comments on Te Aroha Spa:
It brings so many people to our little town that it would be a shame to stop investigating other options. So much money has been spent already that there is surely another way to realise what was discussed originally.
