Gabriola Island Library Branch moves to temporary location
Customers of the Gabriola Island Library Branch will soon be able to enjoy a redeveloped branch with more comfortable seating, a larger children’s area, more public computers, and more space for the many items available to borrow.
The last day for customers to borrow books at the current branch will be Thursday, March 8th. A temporary customer holds pickup service will open on Friday, March 9th adjacent to the current library branch and will offer the following services:
• Holds pickup and placement
• Catalogue searching
The customer holds pickup service will run from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday. It is closed from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. All books will have to be returned during opening hours as there will be no external book drop at the temporary location.
