Upper Riccarton Community and School Library - Te Kete Wānanga o Pūtaringamotu - is ten years old. It's a special place, bringing together the locals with Riccarton High School and Christchurch City Libraries.

Kia ora Upper Riccarton staff and customers! Here are some pics from ten years of being at the heart of the community.
