Important message

Attention all visitors to Casuarina Library

Please be advised that the library will reopen on Tuesday 3 October as planned. However, we would like to inform you that the building works on the courtyard have experienced some delays. As a result, there may be some noise from the ongoing building works, including jackhammering tiles. Temporary fencing has been erected around the courtyard area. During this time, the courtyard will be inaccessible for approximately 2-3 weeks. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
