Richmond Library and the Library Café are closed from Saturday 12 July to Sunday 10 August. 

The closure is due to building strengthening work being undertaken. 

What you need to know: 

We encourage you not to return your items until we reopen but our after-hours returns bin at the Petrie Carpark end of the library is open. 

Any borrowed items which are due during this time have been automatically renewed.  You don’t have to worry about getting them back until we reopen. 

You can place holds on items for collection after we reopen. 

Visit our website to explore a range of library resources you can access from home. 

You can use your Tasman library card at our Motueka, Tākaka and Murchison libraries. 

Tasman residents are eligible for membership of Nelson Library.  You will need to sign up for a Nelson Library card. 

Library wifi is still available outside the building.
