New Brighton Library sustained some moderate earthquake damage in 2011, and work has included repairs to the concrete columns and floors, replacement of the east-facing first floor windows, external painting, new carpet and more.
The temporary library 60 Brighton Mall has been busy serving the community in the four months since New Brighton Library’s closure.
