New library hub for Wollert

A wealth of information is within easy reach of residents after the establishment of a library hub in the Kirrip Community Centre in Wollert.

The lounge area is an even better space for the community with the addition of shelves housing up to 2000 books, a self-serve electronic kiosk and areas for private work and study.

Importantly, users will have access to the Yarra Plenty Regional Library’s extensive catalogue of books, magazines and other resources via its ‘Click and Collect’ service.

City of Whittlesea Chair Administrator Lydia Wilson said the project demonstrated Council’s commitment to expanding library services across the municipality.

“Libraries play such an important role in our communities, providing residents with convenient access to a vast array of resources,” she said.

“We are always looking at new ways of providing library services to residents in our new and developing communities that complement their lifestyles.

That’s why earlier this year, we opened the Mernda Library in a shopfront at the Mernda Town Centre, and the library hub at Kirrip Community Centre.”

The library service, which will be provided by Yarra Plenty Regional Library on behalf of Council, will be offered alongside existing services at the Community Centre on De Rossi Boulevard, including kindergarten programs and Maternal and Child Health Services.
