Palmerston North City Library and Community Services are
conducting a feasibility study with the aim of seeing if a
library/community space is needed in Kelvin Grove.
Maria Bennett, team leader said students have been
employed to canvas residents in the Kelvin Grove area to
gain feedback.
“From Tuesday to Friday this week
we will have students going out and surveying people in the
area about their thoughts, ideas and wishes in regard to a
library facility,” Maria said.
“We’d like to
get an idea what residents think and if there is a need for

that would most suit and what type of resources they would
most like to see made available.”
The students
will be visiting residents between the hours of 10am and 2pm
and again between 4pm and 8pm.
