Free Internet - our gift to Christchurch
Public internet charges were abolished on Wednesday, 5 August 2009.
Why are we making internet access free?
In the same way that we don’t charge people to come into a library and browse our books and magazines, we offer free public access to information available through the internet. This is one of our Digital Library services.
