It's a pฤtaka pukapuka / book exchange! Our mates at WORD Christchurch set this up for our community to exchange all kinds of books - stories, poetry, cook books... you name it! Take what you need, and leave what you can in this little wee library on the green outside The Piano.

WORD Christchurch worked with He Waka Tapu, built by apprentices at Cook Brothers Construction. So cool, check it out!
