Tatura Library project gets funding boost

THE Tatura Library received an injection of funding from the State Government recently as Minister for Local Government, Marlene Kairouz announced funding of $600,000 for the Living Libraries Infrastructure Program.

The new library will include features such as an expanded and dedicated children’s area that will provide improved access and much needed space for families, carers and prams.

Greater Shepparton City Council Director Community, Kaye Thomson said, “The funding will enable Council to extend and redevelop the Tatura Library building. The current Tatura Library has a lack of space, aged furniture, and reduced access for all abilities.

“The funding will help meet the growing Tatura community needs and the larger catchment area. The Living Libraries Infrastructure Program is critical to ensure council can improve the facilities and amenities of Tatura Library in a timely manner for our residents. I look forward to seeing the project progress and thank the State Government for the funding,” Ms Thomson said.
