Call to return overdue
library books
MORE THAN 120,000
books are back on
Christchurch City
Libraries shelves in the
first week after reopening.
However, a significant
number of the loans prior
to the lockdown period
remained outstanding.
The city council head
of libraries and information
Carolyn Robertson
said customers would not
face any fines over postlockdown
overdue books if
they are back by June 15.
“We are asking people to
check around their homes
for any books or other library
items that may have
been forgotten while our
libraries have been closed
to the public,” said Ms
Robertson.
“Thousands of items have
already been returned in
our first week, and we are
thrilled with the response to
our reopening.
“We have extended the
loan period for all of those
outstanding items due
from March 22 to June
15. However, there will be

fines for any late returns
from June 16.”
During the lockdown
period, more than 223,000
items were on loan from
Christchurch City Libraries.
In the first week following
the reopening to the public,
customers returned 54 per
cent of the outstanding
items and 446 new members
joined the library.
“We usually see a rush of
borrowers just before the
Queen’s Birthday holiday
as readers check out books
for the long weekend,” Ms
Robertson said.
“We thought it was

timely to remind people to
return items as they picked
up their new books.”
After an initial flurry
of activity, there are now
more items being issued
than returned.
In the first week back,
South proved the busiest
library with 14,093 items
issued, followed by Fendalton
(9055) and Tūranga
(8022). In tandem, they
recorded the most returns.
In total, 2382 people
joined the library between
March 24 and May 18,
more than double the
normal number.
