Borrowed items can be returned to other libraries in the city, including the Mobile Library, if people wish to do so during the week the Greerton Library is closed.
The temporary Greerton Library at 1334 Cameron Road, between Greer's and Tauranga Hearing Association (close to the Cameron Road/Chadwick Rd roundabout), will offer similar services to the current library.
Library Customer Services Team Leader Joanna Thomas said the temporary library will operate until the new library is completed, which is currently expected to be April 2016.
"On behalf of the library staff, we thank our valued customers for their patience during the week we will be closed, and we'll see you soon at our new premises," she said.

The current Greerton Library was built as a one-room community library in 1975 and refurbished in 1997.
Council approved $3.45 million funding for a 900m2 building - double the size of the present library - in its Annual Plan 2014/15.
Demolition of the old library is due to begin in mid-July, followed by construction of the new library on the same site.
