Gannawarra Libraries to Receive Funding

Gannawarra Shire Council’s library services will receive a boost of $146,421. The funding is part of the state government’s Public Libraries Funding Program. 

The Public Libraries Funding Program provides annual funding for public libraries across Victoria so that they can provide valuable library services. This funding will expand library collections, boost online services and provide library and outreach programs.

“It’s great to see the Government continuing to support Gannawarra Shire Council to deliver high-quality resources for our community through the Public Libraries Funding Program,” Member for Northern Victoria, Mark Gepp MP, said.

“As our community grows, so do their needs. This funding will provide the Gannawarra community to have improved access to digital technology and resources, literacy support services, traditional collections, event spaces and workstations.”

The Public Libraries Funding Program has been allocated $48.1 million in funding for the 2022-2023 financial year. 

Local libraries are much-loved community facilities in Victoria. Across the state, more than two million library members borrow more than 31 million items from libraries every year.
