Wellington's central library closed on Tuesday night following advice received from engineers that the building may not be safe in the event of an earthquake. SUPPLIED Flyers are being handed out to Wellington Central Library visitors on Tuesday, after confirmation the facility will close indefinitely following seismic engineer advice. We've been promised alternative library services, and Wellington City Council should not underestimate its residents' demands that these are delivered properly and speedily. KEVIN STENT/STUFF The library has been closed indefinitely over earthquake fears. The loss of our library is painful and inconvenient, but infinitely preferable to a loss of life.
