Picnic in Ashburton Park to celebrate renaming of refurbished former library
The new name of the former library in Ashburton Park will be unveiled this weekend at a community picnic.
More than 40 suggestions were submitted by residents and the panel consisting of ward councillors and the Friends of Ashburton Park have now chosen the winning name.
Some of the entries have also been used to name internal rooms and spaces.
The picnic in Ashburton Park is on Saturday, July 22 from noon to 3pm.
Tour guides will also be on site to show people around the building between 12.30pm and 2.45pm.
Work is also now underway to find a temporary café operator to trade from the building or adjacent land over the summer months before the newly refurbished building is put into permanent community use.
