The Murray Library in Pinjarra is set for a refurbishment this year thanks to a $200,000 grant from Community Bank Pinjarra.
The much-loved and only public library in the Shire will become brighter, more accessible and user-friendly with a new layout, upgraded
equipment, fresh coat of paint and decorative elements.
Shire President Douglas McLarty said the library, which serves more than 36,000 visitors and 5000 program participants per year, supports learning, creativity and connection – particularly for families, older residents and those experiencing disadvantage.
“The refurbishment responds to immediate needs by creating a more flexible and welcoming environment for our community,” President McLarty said.
“Upgrades will include updated shelving, relocation of the children’s space, additional study spaces, new furniture to support multi-generational activities, updated branding and signage, to name a few.
“These upgrades will ensure the library remains a valued and inclusive space that continues to serve as a cornerstone of civic life in Murray. We would like to thank Community Bank Pinjarra for supporting this project."
Upgrades will begin later this year.
