Dunedin Public Libraries is upgrading the catalogue and you will experience disruptions in service during 25 – 29 October.

You will be able to borrow and return items when you visit any Library, however the catalogue will not be available.
If you wish to place a hold on an item during this time please contact library staff who will be able to help you.
Electronic databases (e.g. Britannica Online, Oxford English Dictionary) will be accessible in the Library only.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this planned work and hope you will enjoy your new catalogue from the 29 October.
