Libraries also honoured
The Council’s Christchurch City Libraries has won a
number of recent awards. Last month it won the New
Zealand Institute of Architects’ Resene Colour Award for the
refurbishment of its Central City Library in Gloucester
Street. The project architect was Scott Koopman, of
Architecture Warren and Mahoney. The citation says colour is used successfully to define
spaces and help make navigation easy. The Libraries Contact Centre won the Technology
Category of the 2002 New Zealand Post Management
Excellence Awards and has been shortlisted for the 3M
Award for Innovation, the winner of which will be
announced this month. City Libraries launched its centralised phone, fax and email
service for customer service and information in June last
year. It is open for 79 hours a week and in its first year
handled more than 132,000 calls. “If you’ve got the
questions, chances are we’ve got the answers,” says City
Libraries Manager Sue Sutherland. |
