Auckland's Central City Library has closed its doors this week as its roof is fixed.
The waterproof layer on the surface of the 50-year-old building is being replaced, which involves breaking off the concrete surface, grinding the old waterproof membrane and laying a new one.
There are several layers on the roof of the Lorne St building and the project is expected to take until the end of the year.
A spokesperson said a decision on the best options for continuing to deliver the library service will be made after Easter.
The library was temporarily closed on March 22 due to a precautionary evacuation after an unpleasant odour was reported by staff and customers, which was associated with the building works.
