A NEW chapter so to speak in<br />
the history of the Bishopdale<br />
Library and Community Centre<br />
with the opening of new premises<br />
on Saturday.<br />
The old library was badly damaged<br />
in the February 2011 earthquake.<br />
But the wait is over.<br />
Reporter Julia Evans and photographer<br />
Martin Hunter headed<br />
down yesterday and found a familiar<br />
face browsing through the<br />
shelves – former All Black hooker<br />
Peter Sloane.<br />
The complex is called<br />
Ōrauwhata, which means the<br />
place of the multitude of eels.<br />
You’ll have to read our story on<br />
page 4 to find out why and Peter<br />
Sloane has his smiling face on<br />
page 1.<br />
Good news for young families<br />
in Halswell – your new school is<br />
three years ahead of schedule and<br />
will open in 2019. See page 1.<br />
