1000 people apply for positions at Christchurch's new central library
Demand for jobs at Christchurch's new $92 million central library has surpassed expectations after 1000 people applied for 45 positions.
Tūranga, the Christchurch Central Library, will be the largest library in the South Island and a third larger than the city's former central library, which was demolished after the February 2011 earthquake.
It's expected to open later this year, but an exact date is yet to be confirmed.

Cats Still Missing - NEW TO AREA - Please keep sharing
Please help us find Sid and Dizzy. Missing since 10th November around Leander Street, Northcote. They snuck away after a stressful move into town, and so will likely be confused and a bit timid.
If found please contact Barbara Johnstone on 027 441 5594
We are particularly worried about Dizzy (black & white) he is older mainly a house cat and is VERY deaf : there were possible sightings of him on Joiners Ln (near Vagues Rd) not long after they went missing, but he's not been spotted since.
Please keep a look out for him. Thanks to everyone for your support.
