As a result of the Wellington City Council Long Term Plan 2012 decisions, our programmes have been reviewed. Programmes with lower attendance could no longer be sustained but this decision was not made lightly. Also considered was the best possible schedule to maximise opportunities for customers to attend programmes in each local community area.

Part of the consideration was whether customers would still be able to have access to services we offer now, although there may be changes to the frequency or how the service operates.

This means:

• One children’s programme only each weekday at Karori.
• Cummings Park Baby RocknRhyme will now be on Tuesday at 10.30 starting 2nd October. Pre-school Storytimes will be on Wednesday at 10.30.
• Holiday programmes at Brooklyn and Island Bay will cease but be retained at Kilbirnie, and Central; they will also be held at Karori or Cummings Park, Johnsonville or Tawa, and Newtown or Miramar.
• Adult book clubs and Tea and Tales will be self-managed.
• Johnsonville Pre-school Storytimes on Monday will cease but be retained on Tuesday.
• Wadestown Pre-school Storytimes will cease.
• Central library Stories at Seven and Saturday Pre-school Storytime will cease
