Important changes you need to know about

Some exciting changes are coming up:

From Sunday 1 July 2012, you might notice some differences when you issue, renew or return items at your library.

The issue period for books is changing to three weeks – and you will soon be able to renew – for free – each item once for another three weeks, if no one else has placed a reserve

From 1 July you wont have to pay the $1 renewal fee anymore either. (Though if you’re renewing an item that has a rental fee, like a DVD, you will still need to pay another rental fee)

Renewing items is easy – you can either renew them online by checking your library card at wcl.govt.nz/card or ask a staff member at your local library.

Also- you will have 3 days after the due date of your item before we will start charging overdue fees (it used to be 1 day).

If you have any questions about these changes and how they’ll affect the items you take out of the library, please email us at enquiries@wcl.govt.nz or ask at your local library.
