Christchurch City Libraries is a network of 21 libraries and a mobile library, operated by the Christchurch City Council. Following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake the previous Christchurch Central Library building was demolished, and was replaced by a new central library building in Cathedral Square, Tūranga, which opened in 2018. A number of community libraries were also rebuilt post earthquake.
