Details
DescriptionPrinted in the May 14, 12975 'Leader'.
The original plan had been to build the library at the same time as the civic centre, in 1968, but instead, the civic centre was built with an extra floor for future use, and the library had occupied the ground floor; now, it needed more room.
A loan for $430 000 to cover the new building and consequential changes to the existing one would be raised.
In addition to the library itself, there would be public conveniences, a garage for the mobile library and book storage (later to become archive storage).
