South Colombo Library — Attraction in Christchurch

A very visitor-friendly library, where even without a library card, visitors can explore and study inside. The library offers comprehensive features catering to various needs such as studying and community gatherings for discussions. Additionally, the library boasts an impressive book wall and a meaningful stamp exhibition area. Worth to go! This library is really big, you can visit for free and walk around, however to actually sit in the library and read books you do need to become a member. There are a lot of sitting places, so you can just sit and relax, reading your own book or you can do work. 😊 There is a cafe on the ground floor. Cafes to get food and drink. Seemed to be a lot of people studying and meeting up - it was busier than I expected it to be on a weekday.

Souths Library has always served me well & while I now use the Halswell library I still enjoy visiting South in Colombo st.

Now getting back to the library, the staff are very helpful & very knowledgeable & will do their darnedest to assist you with that problem title. Parking 🚙 🚘 🚚 🛺is pretty good but sometimes it's not lol. All up it's a place to be enjoyed so settle down with a book 📖 or a puzzle 🧮 & forget about life in the fast lane...

Dont do libraries often but this it would seem is a good one, definately a place of tranquility, a room full of thought provoking information, some of it fictional while much of it factual.

If that does not spin your wheels take the time to sit, reflect or maybe just chat to the person sitting next to you.

There is a public City Council Office just inside the main doors, plenty of computer stations, even got toilets. It's a great community meeting place with...
