Ararat Rural City Council is pleased to welcome the community to attend Ararat Library's Open Day next Tuesday, to celebrate the official opening of the recent interior refurbishment.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the Ararat Library's range of services available to the community. Morning tea will be provided, and activities will be run throughout the day, including handing out showbags and book giveaways.
Interior refurbishment works to the library included the installation of all-new flooring and mobile shelving in the adult fiction and non-fiction areas to allow the space to be easily adapted for a variety of the library's programs.
The project also delivered a new customer service desk, improved library signage, new soft furniture for reading and quiet study, and two new public computers to meet technological demands.
These upgrades, funded by a $200,000 investment from Council's Capital Works Program, reflect community feedback received mid-last year, and address the community's changing needs.
"We're thrilled to officially welcome the community back to the Ararat Library to enjoy a truly transformed space," says Ararat Rural City Council Mayor, Cr Jo Armstrong.
"Demonstrating Council's ongoing commitment to infrastructure upgrades, this significant investment means our library can continue to be a vibrant and modern hub for learning, connection, and enjoyment for every member of our community."
The Ararat Library Open Day will be held on Tuesday 3 June 2025, from 11am. This event is free, and no registration is required.
