Great children’s area - nice selection of books, playground, Lego table, arts and crafts table in the holidays - my wee one loved it. However, highly disappointed there are two MASSIVE tvs in the little kids area…nI don’t think screen time should be promoted! At least have it away from where little kids should be reading! You know… Because it’s a library… not a movie theatre. Other than that, it was great.
​The selection of books at the Ashburton Library is excellent, particularly for a regional facility. While no collection can be truly exhaustive, the curators have clearly prioritized quality and relevance.n​There is a commendable balance across genres, with a strong focus on popular fiction, up-to-date non-fiction titles, and dedicated sections for children and young adults. Local history resources are robust and invaluable for anyone researching the Canterbury area. The collection is well-maintained and efficiently organized, making it easy to browse and find what you need. Furthermore, the availability of digital resources e-books and audiobooks significantly extends the physical inventory.n​The quality of the collection ensures that whether you’re seeking the latest bestseller, a deep dive into a niche subject, or materials for school, the Ashburton Library delivers value.
Was so impressed by the library, the space is amazing, the staff friendly and what an incredible range of facilities for people of all ages. Special highlight for me as a musician was the studio space, the craft area also deserved special mention.
A beautifully thought out space and a real treasure to visit. This library has captured the heart of creativity to combined spaces of coming together. Finished with a delicious coffee @ One Ninety Nine Cafe!
A pretty great space to go to until it turns 3 o'clock. Then, you have to find somewhere else that isn't noisy thanks to the kids who go here.nnThe atmosphere however is peaceful in the morning, and the café downstairs has a nice menu to eat from while enjoying a good book. I got a hot chocolate and a cinnamon roll one time and ate it while reading Collins' Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.nn9.5/10.
