The Central Coast Library Service is making some upgrades to its systems to bring bigger and better services, including access to a bigger catalogue with one library card across the Central Coast.

In order to do this, all library branches on the Coast will have some brief closures. All library branches will be closed on Monday and Tuesday, October 16-17, with after-hours returns chutes to be open when branches are closed. From October 9-18, there will be no access to the library catalogue either online or in the library, however customers can still borrow when branches are open. To reduce the impact to customers, no library items will be due for return during this period. Central Coast Libraries’ online resources and e-books will still be available, except during the October 9-18 window. In addition, the following branches will be closed on these days: The Entrance Library, October 9; Bateau Bay Library, October 10- 14; Tuggerah Library, October 11; Lake Haven Library, October 13; and Gwandalan Library, October 9-17.
