Picton Library celebrates visitor growth
Twelve months after opening its doors the new Picton Library and Service Centre Waitohi Whare Mātauranga is proving popular with book lovers, community groups and local schools.
Visitor numbers have increased by 61 per cent and loans are up 11 per cent, a fantastic result which shows that the service is being well used.
Mayor John Leggett said the dramatic growth in visitor numbers is an outstanding achievement after only one year of operation.
