LIBRARIES CLOSED TO CHILDREN
When the ban on the congregating of children under 16 was imposed, the Dunedin Public Library and its Wakari branch were closed to such children. Acting on instructions from the Department of Health, the junior library at Port Chalmers will also be closed, this reversing the decision made by the Port Chalmers Borough Council on Monday night that the junior library should be kept open. In his letter to the council, stating that there would be little danger if the library were left open, Mr Notman made it clear on Monday that there was no reading room where the children could congregate. They would enter the library one at a time for the purpose of changing books.
