Two community groups have applied to use the Old Wellsford Library (OWL).
The deadline was extended by three weeks after no applications were received by the August 1 closing date.
Community facilities manager Kevin Marriott says a third group has expressed interest and the Rodney Local Board will decide whether to accept late applications.
One of the applicants, Wellsford Promotions, wants to create an information centre and start a conservation project for morepork as a mascot for the ‘OWL’.
“We’d like to have local art on display and a space for businesses to promote themselves and we plan on creating a space for people to meet up for a cup of tea,” association president Stef Railey says.
The Board will make a decision on the long-term tenants of the building at a future business meeting. It’s unlikely that the successful tenant will be able to move in before the end of the year.
