Birkenhead Library’s main entrance is closed for approximately 2 weeks while the landscape work along the walkway to the entrance is completed.  Entry to the building is via the Plunket entry on Rawene Rd, or from Hinemoa St through the basement carpark via the lift or stairwell.

The After Hours Returns slot will be unavailable over this time.  Remember books can be returned to any of the North Shore Libraries.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
