Little library to get some love

Nine months after devastating floods almost submerged Puhoi Library several times, long-awaited restoration work was due to start this week.

Library committee chair Sandra Beagley said on a village Facebook page that Auckland Council was due to begin restoration work this Tuesday, October 24.

“They will initially remove the silt, lift and clean the floorboards, concrete, then replace boards,” she said.

“The plan is to totally seal the building rather than raise or re-site it. Exciting news!”
