Woden library will reopen at 10am on Monday 18 November 2024 following upgrade works.
The library was temporarily closed in May 2024 due to the significance of the upgrade works. The range of upgrades included:
- replacing the heating and air conditioning system
- renovating the ground floor bathroom
- new LED lighting
- roof repairs and other improvements.
We thank the community for their patience as these important works were completed.
A pop-up library at 26 Corinna Street in Phillip has been open during the closure.
The reading room, public PCs, children’s room and community rooms at the pop-up library will be closed from 5.30pm on Wednesday 13 November 2024. The pop-up library will remain open on Thursday 14 and Friday 15 November 2024, between 10am and 5.30pm, to allow community members to return items and collect reservations. The pop-up library will permanently close at 5.30pm on Friday 15 November 2024.
On Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 November 2024 reservations ready for collection will be held and will be available at the Woden library for collection from Monday 18 November 2024. During this time, we encourage you to access the digital resources available with your Libraries ACT membership.
The return chute at Woden library will be open and you can return items 24/7. You can now also make bookings for community room hire at Woden library, including for the HIVE, from Monday 18 November 2024.
A range of events and activities are scheduled at the Woden library when it reopens.
