Community invited toTea Gardens Library celebrations

THE community is invited to celebrate the official opening of the Tea Gardens Library extension.

The event coincides with the anniversary of the Tea Gardens Library’s official opening 22 years ago.

The celebration will be held on Monday 13 October from 10am to 11am at the Tea Gardens Library, with a free morning tea on offer.

The morning will begin with a Welcome to Country, followed by special addresses and the official unveiling of a plaque and sharing of an anniversary cake.

“Everyone is welcome to attend this special event to celebrate the newly expanded Tea Gardens Library,” said Paul De Szell, MidCoast Council’s Director Liveable Communities.

Following the event there will be a special preschool story time and guest speakers from the Tea Gardens Family Research and Local History Inc.

Recent upgrade and extension work included a 97m² extension to provide a meeting and events space, an amenities upgrade, an access ramp upgrade, new carpet and introducing self-serve technology.

This $600,000 project was funded by a NSW Public Libraries Infrastructure Grant and State Library of NSW Local Special Projects Funding.

A small community donation was given to contribute to a new local history alcove in the library.
