We talk to creators who have made things happen with Christchurch City Libraries Ngā Kete Wānanga o Ōtautahi.
Indrani Bedi has scanned over 1500 slides and negatives using the Photo Scanner on Tūranga, Auahatanga | Creativity, Level 4
Indrani came to the Creative Time sessions at Tūranga with thousands of photos and slides dating back more than 50 years and learned how to use the technology to digitize her precious memories. With help from library staff, Indrani gained the confidence to use the technology on her own and has become a familiar and friendly face at the central library.
Photo scanners are available to use at both Tūranga and Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre.
