2 our christchurch Winter 2013 Convenience makes new library a hit with Alina Alina Addison and her family are thrilled to have a modern new library and service centre in their neighbourhood. Since the new temporary Linwood Library and Service Centre at Eastgate Shopping Centre opened at the end of April, Alina has been visiting at least once a week to pick up items she and her family have put on hold online. She says it’s convenient to be able to pick up books and DVDs at the library and visit the supermarket in the shopping centre at the same time. Alina is a loyal customer – she visited the Linwood Library in Cranley Street before its closure due to earthquake damage, and was also a regular visitor to the temporary Linwood Mini Library in Smith Street. “I like being recognised by the library staff and having a chat about life. It’s a really friendly environment,” Alina says. Alina and her family are among more than 21,000 people who visited the library in the first three weeks after it opened – an average of 1000 customers a day. The customer service centre has also been busy, processing 550 transactions during this period. Opening Linwood Library and Service Centre is part of the Council’s commitment to restoring key community services post-earthquake. General Manager Community Services Michael Aitken says the Council recognises the impact of the loss of key community facilities on residents. As part of its Facilities Rebuild Programme, the Council is opening temporary facilities while work continues on more permanent solutions. With engineering assessments now complete on most of its non- Frequent visitors: Alina Addison with children Nanette, left, and Sara residential facilities, the Council is also putting even more energy into at the new temporary Linwood Library.
