The rebuild of Christchurch South Library will be of interest to everyone who is currently getting their library books from the Colombo Centre, and who is looking forward to a new building to house everything that was there before and more, including the cafe, meeting rooms and children's corner. Rosie Levi will bring us up to date with all these changes. Rosie has been the acting Head of Libraries & Information since May 2025, with overall responsibility for leading the planning and delivery of public library services for Christchurch City and Banks Peninsula. She has 15 years of experience in Libraries and has been in various roles during those years, including leading Programme teams and embedding the services on the Auahatanga floor in Tūranga. Her most recent highlight has been working together with council colleagues to deliver the popular Matatiki Hornby facility. Until May 2025, Rosie Levi was the Community Libraries A Manager, the libraries in her portfolio included: Linwood, Matuku Takotako: Sumner, Spreydon, Te Hāpua, Hornby, South, Upper Riccarton, Lyttelton, Little River, Akaroa and Diamond Harbour.
