Wingecarribee Shire Mittagong Public Library will temporary close its doors from Wednesday 30 June 2021 as a precaution to slow the potential spread of the COIVID-19 virus however Bowral Public Library will remain open. Council’s Chief Information Officer John Crawford explained the decision. “The latest restrictions have affected our library staffing levels and limited the number of patrons we can safely accommodate within the building,” he said. “Our Bowral Library is fortunately considerably larger and can maintain current operating hours – including Saturday hours – under the current restrictions.” “We will however continue to monitor the situation and alert our customers should circumstances change.”
