Library on track to open in Jan

The new Upper Riccarton Community and School Library is on track to open its doors on Monday, 23 January.

The building, on Main South Road, is the result of a partnership between Christchurch City Libraries and Riccarton High School. It will be a modern, environmentally friendly space which both the community and the school will use for leisure and learning.

The new library takes its lead from the Council’s successes with its South Christchurch, Parklands and New Brighton libraries, all of which provide a special community facility — much more than simply a library.

An official opening event and celebration of the new library will be held on Saturday, 25 February.
