One of Christchurch's most popular libraries is at risk of being rebuilt as a “substandard facility” that will fail to meet the needs of its community, some city leaders fear.
There is a $2.5 million shortfall to rebuild South Library in Beckenham and with no extra money currently in the Christchurch City Council’s budget, councillors and community board members are worried the project will be scaled back.
They are urging the public to make a submission to the council’s draft annual plan, before submissions close at 11.59pm on Monday, to ensure more money is put in the budget.
Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board chairperson Callum Ward told the council at its meeting last week that the board was “gravely concerned” about the project.
“Unless we adjust the budget now to meet the actual needs of the facility, the scope of this project will be eroded to the point where we will deliver a substandard facility that will fail to meet the needs of the community.”
Ward said the library, which was also a service centre, was one of the most well-used in the city and had a higher book turnover than Tūranga, the central library.

Controversial enlarged speed bumps are being recommended for a Christchurch roundabout to stop cars crashing with cyclists.
Christchurch City Council staff are recommending a raft of safety tweaks for the roundabout at the bottom of the Port Hills, which connects Dyers Pass Rd, Colombo St, Cashmere Rd and Centaurus Rd.
The Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote community board will decide at a meeting next week whether to go ahead with the staff recommendations.
During public consultation, the majority of people who lived near the roundabout did not support the changes or did not indicate their preference. Some feared it could worsen congestion.
One aspect of the tweaks was adding raised safety platforms at each roundabout entrance.
Similar platforms were previously added at a Lincoln Rd intersection and have faced criticism from some city councillors and mayor Phil Mauger.
Councillor Aaron Keown previously claimed the council does not have a mandate to install the platforms.
Another raised platform on Opawa Rd had not drawn any criticism.
In the case of this roundabout, council staff say a raised platform would reduce entry speed and therefore improve safety.
Staff said if people were hit by a car travelling at 50kph their chances of survival are 20%, but their survival chances would shoot up to 90% if the car’s speed was only 30kph.
Between 2012 and 2021, 27 crashes had occurred at the roundabout, with 10 of them resulting in serious injuries.
In all the instances of serious injuries, the crashes involved a cyclist, motorbike or scooter.
Council staff said about 2200 cars and 65 cyclists used the roundabout during the morning rush. About 2400 cars and 90 cyclists used it at peak time in the evening.
Other tweaks proposed by council staff were narrower entry lanes to the roundabout, wider pedestrian islands, and improved pedestrian crossing locations.
Council staff received a mixed reception when they consulted the public about the work.
Out of a total of 426 submissions, 197 did not indicate whether they supported the changes, 86 were in favour, and 143 were against.
About 150 submitters suggested that solving safety issues at the intersection would require traffic lights.
Council staff say this would not help safety and could cost $2.5 million, whereas the recommended tweaks would only cost $450,000.
The tweaks would be paid by the Government, thanks to a $40m cash injection for roading projects that was first promised in 2017.
Council staff noted that “the majority of submitters who live within the vicinity of the roundabout ... either did not support the changes or did not give a clear indication”.
The area’s community board will meet at 4pm on Thursday, April 13 to decide whether to go ahead with the proposed tweaks.

Originally named Lexiko and then Criss-Cross Words, Alfred Mosher Butts eventually settled on the name Scrabble. The amateur artist and unemployed architect developed the word game in the midst of the depression. Still, it wasn’t until 1948, a final name change and a trademark that Butts finally began to produce the game.
