Upgrade works for Tea Gardens Library will kick off mid-May 2025.
Works include a 97m² extension to provide a meeting and events space, an amenities upgrade, an access ramp upgrade, new carpet and self-serve technology.
"We are excited to upgrade the library facilities at Tea Gardens to better meet the needs of the local community who love and use the space," said Alex Mills, MidCoast Council's Manager Libraries, Community and Cultural Services.
The library will close during the upgrade works for approximately five weeks from Thursday 24 July 2025.
There will be a temporary pop-up library in the Council Customer Service Point across the road from Tea Gardens Library during the closure.
The pop-up library will have a small selection of titles to borrow and be available for reservation pick-up. There will be no programs running during this time.
This project is funded by a Public Libraries Infrastructure Grant and State Library of NSW Local Special Projects Funding.
A small community donation was given to contribute to a new local history alcove in the library.
