Our Library
ABOUT the library
The Library is a PANZ Ōututahi Christchurch Campus and AANZPA-CW joint project. It is a resource for trainees, practitioners and trainers. The Library has been maintained since the 1980s and is constantly acquiring new titles. It formerly had its home in 79 Bealey Avenue, Presbyterian Support in Bealey Avenue, Urban Eden in Barbados Street, The Philipstown Hub in Nursery Road and in April 2021, we moved it to this little outbuilding at the Quaker Meeting House in 217 Ferry Road, access via the double gates on Nursery Road.
Access
The library is accessible when there is a psychodrama event at the Quaker House. Discuss with the organisers of the event, so they know who is around and when. Here is a guide to times:
• AANZPA meetings on third Tuesday in March, May, July, September, November
• Theatre of Spontaneity every first Tuesday of every month
• By arrangement txt Walter 021 2710610
Notes from email with Migs (Quaker organiser) Tai Chi Wednesday mornings, someone could come in to look at the library between about 9.45 and 11.45, because that’s the in-house group I go to. They could even wander in to use the loo! Sunday morning access from say 11.30 to 12.30? We’ve finished Meeting then, and are having a cup of tea and conversation. The first Sunday of the month we have Meeting for Business and are in the building until around 1.30 / 2pmish, which would be a longer easy-access period. Please respect the privacy and silence needed for groups in progress.Avoid getting locked in behind the main gate. Walter has a key to the main gate or will know who has it. Contacting him may be another way to access the library (or get out)
The Access Key
The key is in a lock box. The key works in both the library shed and the children’s room next door.
The 4 digit pin is shared by word of mouth.
