The law and the library
- 19 Jul 2020
- Andy Foster
- Our Central Library is hugely missed by so many of us, a place to go, to be, without cost or expectation, a place to learn, a place to find adventure in the pages of a good book, a place that added life to Te Ngakau Civic Square – the heart of our city. There is strong demand ‘to just reopen it.’ Problem is the Council cannot ‘just reopen it’.

Sep 2019 - Libraries are Us

- The closure of the central library in March 2019 was a shock to us all. The decision was made swiftly in the best interests of both Council’s staff and visiting public. It was sudden and the grieving process is still underway, from disbelief, sadness, anger, acceptance through to hope. The central library was not just somewhere with books and magazines. It was a meeting place, it was that warm, dry, and calm space welcoming everyone of all ages across our diverse communities – the community living room. It nurtured learning with from young to old with a wide variety of different activities from baby rock ‘n’ rhyme through to photo booths celebrating the style of dress from the suffrage campaign.
