Efforts to restore the library began in 2019. The roof and ceiling have been repaired, which has allowed for more restoration progress to be made inside the library.
Bookshelves had to be repaired and replaced as well as electronic equipment such as the air conditioning.
Many of the damaged books have been replaced and more are being added to the library’s catalogue.
Also, the library has opened a brand new knowledge centre where computer training courses will be offered once the library has been opened to the public.

However, residents can make use of the library’s drop-and-collect service at the front desk.
Readers can also make use of the library’s hybrid services where they can read e-books and magazines online for free.
This service also offers magazines, fiction and non-fiction books alike.
