Council asked for community input on how to use part of the $172,658 of State funding under the 2016/17 Public Libraries Infrastructure Grant program at a meeting on Wednesday, December 6.
Around 10 community members attended the morning workshop to help run through different ideas for how to alter the layout of the library make it more user friendly and inviting.
There was discussion about how people move through the space and which areas are utilised the most and which are used less frequently. Privacy around the computer terminals was also brought up and options were presented for how to solve that issue with a new layout.
Regular library user, Pippa Robinson said she would like a space to sit and read.
Deborah Ferguson comes to the library to use the computers and read the Gloucester Advocate.
Samantha Green uses the library for storytime with her children and came with a request from her seven-year-old daughter, Olive Kelly.
“She would like the two sections she reads from, the picture books and the junior fiction to be brought together in the area.”
