Bishopdale Plunket – Story Times
Bishopdale's newest playgroup is all about babies and toddlers being exposed to books.
Books which allow your baby / toddler the opportunity to explore by touch, viewing and also hearing the story being read to them.
At the beginning of each session a book especially hand-picked each week will be read to the group then parents are invited to relax and enjoy the space.
We have allocated a safe and secured spot on the deck which is fenced at Ōrauwhata: Bishopdale Library.
If weather is a bit cold, we will move the group inside. Families are invited to bring their morning tea to enjoy in the outdoor space.
Starting – Monday 22nd February, 10am – 11am, Ōrauwhata: Bishopdale Library.

Cyclists forced to use ‘more dangerous’ crossing if cycleway closed
Closing a Christchurch cycleway to avoid an unsafe rail crossing will lead cyclists across an even “more dangerous” crossing, cycling advocates say.
Transport Minister Simeon Brown has weighed in on the issue, calling the move to shut a 1.5km section of the Heathcote Expressway for up to two years, “illogical”. He has asked KiwiRail to explain.
KiwiRail is demanding Christchurch City Council close part of the expressway until $6.5 million worth of safety improvements can be made to the Scruttons Rd rail crossing.
It said the “unsafe” crossing posed the risk of death or serious injury once every thousand years.
