THE meeting room and genealogy space at Kerang’s Sir John Gorton Library will be closed from February 25 until the completion of The Glasshouse @ The Gannawarra.
Construction of what will become the Gannawarra’s newest community meeting and digital connectivity space hit another milestone last week with the pouring of the building’s foundations.
“The pouring of the foundations … is an exciting milestone for this project, as it will enable visitors to the site to see how large this new space is and how it will connect to the already popular Sir John Gorton Library,” Gannawarra Council chief executive Geoff Rollinson said.
“During the coming weeks work will occur to install the building’s walls, which will bring this much-needed project one step closer to completion.”
During the works, community groups can still book to use the library’s foyer for meetings, however there will be no kitchen facilities available or access to the smart TV located in the building’s meeting room.
There are facilities for community groups seeking to meet in Kerang, including Kerang Senior Citizens Centre and Kerang Memorial Hall supper room. For bookings, visit www.gsc.vic.gov.au/venues or call 5450 9333.
The library foyer will also be accessible during opening hours, however there may be excessive noise during works.
The genealogy room will be retained as part of The Glasshouse @ The Gannawarra project, while the existing meeting room will become part of the foyer that connects the new building to the current library building.
