Libraries in the Macedon Ranges will receive investment for their future as part of the State Government Public Libraries Funding Program.
The program provides annual funding for public libraries across Victoria to allow them to continue to provide services, as well as expand connections, boost online engagement and provide outreach programs.
Public libraries in the Macedon Ranges will receive a total of $374,125 through the program.
Member for Macedon Mary-Anne Thomas said the funding would help libraries to support the changes of growing communities.
“It’s great to see the government continuing to support … the Macedon Ranges Shire Council to deliver high-quality resources for our community through the Public Libraries Funding Program,” she said.
“As our community grows, so do their needs. This funding will provide the … Macedon Ranges communities improved access to digital technology and resources, literacy support services, traditional collections, event spaces and workstations.”
