What fun and productive two hours this morning at Turanga public library. I had a small project to complete and had the use of their state of the art Bernina sewing machine and overlocker. As usual, there was their very knowledgeable and friendly staff to help with instructions!
Turanga meaning “stoping place” in Māori, is the largest public library in the South Island of New Zealand occupying almost 10,000 square metres of community space over four floors. Participating with Danish library design experts Schmidt Hammer Lassen, the local architects also had design discussions with Iwi Ngāi Tahu and the Ngāi Tūāhuriri rūnanga.
The new library was opened in 2018 as one of the best major project after the devastating Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011.
It is a welcoming place with so much to offer, come and see for yourself! and much more.

A lovely walk this morning through Hagley Park. This is the largest urban green open space in Christchurch, NZ. It was created in 1855 by the Provincial Government and reserved ‘forever as a public park’ by decree. Approximately 165 hectares (407 acres) of trees, bush and flowers wrap around the Botanic gardens.
