LINWOOD LIBRARY
Sir, —I agree with your correspondent “Pioneer Descendant,” as my late father, Mr J. R. Brunt, J.P., was the only Mayor, elected about 1894, of Linwood. During that period Linwood was a most progressive suburb of Christchurch. Today where the Linwood Library is situated, at the corner of Stanmore road and Worcester street, opposite the Linwood Post Office, the business shopping area is indeed progressive. The Linwood Library must surely serve a useful purpose as a half-way public reading room, situated some distance from the Christchurch Public Library, for elderly retired folk who are unable to go to the library at night. Surely it, is only reasonable to expect Linwood to progress in 1954, and not “to take such a retrograde step as closing the library reading room.—Yours, etc-, A. F. RUSSELL BRUNT. August 10, 1954.
