Library hours cut I s s u e 21 • A c o m m u n i t y n e w s p a p e r f o r L a m b t o n & N o r t h L a m b t o n • F R E E

Regular Lambnton Branch Library user Ruth Purvis is concerned that locals who work through the week will no longer be able to access Lambton Library at all

Lambton Branch Library will no longer open on Saturdays. This will reduce the days of operation from three to two. In recent years the Library has operated Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9.30am to 5pm (closed for lunch) and Saturdays from 9.30am to 12 noon. The decision to cut hours appears to have been made without input from or consultation with Lambton library users and is the result of 12 months of monitoring of opening hours across Council’s network of libraries. “Our monitoring showed there were limited users coming into Lambton Library on Saturday mornings and by relocating our staff from Lambton on Saturday mornings we will be able to extend the opening hours at six other branches.” Libraries Manager Suzie Gately told Lambton Local in a statement. The closest branch libraries to Lambton are New Lambton, Hamilton and Adamstown. All three of these branches will have longer opening hours of 9am to 1pm on Saturdays.
