News from Wellington City Council The Wellington City Council has adopted four principles that will guide the design for modernising the Central Library building within the remediation plans. This includes extending the floor space and working with other organisations to offer people a broader range of services and innovative ways to engage with the collections. “Wellingtonians were very clear when we consulted last year that we need a highly resilient central library building. Strengthening gives us the opportunity to hugely improve the library’s relationship to Te Ngākau Civic Square and surrounding streets, and to completely rethink its interior,” says Mayor Andy Foster.
