Ballarat Library is being expanded and refurbished.

Minister for Local Government Melissa Horne celebrated national Library and Information Week recently by visiting the Ballarat Library with Member for Wendouree Juliana Addison and Member for Buninyong Michaela Settle.
The City of Ballarat has recently opened the Ballarat Library refurbishment to tender with submissions open until August 11.
The first major redevelopment and expansion since 1993 will see the creation of a new main library entrance integrated with the Ballarat GovHub, Civic Hall and CBD.
There will also be a new second level added to the building to include a teaching space for hands-on activities like art and cooking.
The investment will expand the children’s section and create a discovery and play area, while there will also be a designated performance space and lounge area in the youth section.
Projects like this ensure that communities have improved access to digital technology and resources, literacy support services, traditional collections, event spaces and workstations.
