Libraries in Rodney will open an extra 16 hours a week following a decision by Auckland Council’s Budget Committee to standardise library opening hours.
It was proposed in the draft 10-year Budget that library hours be reduced to cut costs. However, strong public feedback opposed the plan and the committee decided the total number of opening hours across the region should stay the same, but be distributed differently.
As a result, hours will increase at 27 libraries but decrease at 24. Some libraries will also move to seven days a week.
The major change in Rodney will be at the Warkworth library which will increase its hours from 46 to 52 a week.
Local boards also have the option to fund additional opening hours.
