Poll: Are libraries a place for snoozing?
In Christchurch's new central library, Tūranga, you can play video games, use remote-controlled cars or utilise the $1.2 million touchscreen.
But should you be able to catch a few Zs in our city's learning centres to kill some time? One security guard doesn't think so – or maybe he was just checking for vital signs.
"I thought I'd just close my eyes for five or 10 minutes. I'd noticed the security guy walking around before that ... he just came over and said 'excuse me, sir, you need to wake up'," library visitor Raymond Lum says.
Should you be able to have a quick snooze in the library if that book is making the eyelids a little heavy?

20.7% Of course. Kick back, relax and enjoy those comfy seats.

15.6% Only if you're not going to snore like a chainsaw.

63.7% No, absolutely not. If you want a nap, go home.
