Hoppers Crossing Library is relocating, though fortunately for Wyndham readers, it’s not going far.
Due to building works at Pacific Werribee affecting its usual location, the library will be moving to a temporary space elsewhere on level one of the shopping centre.
The current library space will close on June 26 and relocate to the former Squires Loft restaurant near Village Cinemas and Myer, which will open on July 10.
Wyndham councillor Jasmine Hill said library users will experience minimal disruption.
“The temporary space will continue to provide all the usual services and will include
a small collection of books and other library items, study tables, public computers
and a reading nook,” said Cr Hill.
“A small calendar of programs will also be run out of the temporary space,” she added.
During relocation the existing library will undergo expansion, with two new community rooms added thanks to a grant from the state government’s Living Libraries program.
The expanded library is expected to re-open by early 2024.
