Parklands Library / Te Kete Wānanga o Waitikiri

In 2005 Christchurch City Libraries opened a new community library in Parklands. These are the various public planning documents and photo galleries associated with the new library.

Parklands Library is the result of a remarkable makeover, transforming the tired 1970's shell of the former North Brighton Baptist Church into a stunning, state-of-the-art, community library. It's been an economical solution to the need for a library in the area, taking just six months to complete at a lower cost than that of a new building.
