March 30, 2021- MISSION BEACH LIBRARY GRAND REOPENING EVENT

The refurbished Mission Beach library is set to reopen to the public with a grand reopening event chock-a-block with fun activities.

Division three Councillor and Community and Culture portfolio holder Councillor Trudy Tschui said the upgrades will enhance the library experience for patrons, and will provide a modernised, multi-use library space that will be an asset to the Mission Beach area.

“To celebrate the end of refurbishment, Council has organised a great event filled with activities to encourage residents to come down and check out the new space.

“The event is being held Saturday 17 April, from 9am until 12pm. Some of the activities on offer include a free sausage sizzle, badge making, art, story time sessions and other entertainment. We will also have WI-FI and computer facilities available, so there is something on offer for everyone,” Councillor Tschui said.

“I am proud that we have been able to finish the upgrades in time for the second week of school holidays. The library will be welcoming patrons from 10am, Monday 12 April and school holiday activities will be on offer throughout the week. Patrons can book into sessions by contacting Cassowary Coast Libraries. 

“The upgrade will provide real benefits to local residents by providing a welcoming, attractive space for people of all ages to enjoy.”

The Mission Beach Library Upgrade is part of Council’s plan to provide infrastructure that meets current and future needs while also providing access to enhanced education and learning.

Renovations undertaken include improving disability access, installation of a new meeting room, which will be available for public bookings, improved public areas with new desks for study or laptop users to utilise and a refresh of the interiors with new wall painting, carpet, shelving and furniture including more comfortable seating.
