Library set for major upgrade

BY TYLER FARDELL

Newcastle city library is set for a major 1.3 million dollar revamp, ahead of the 60th anniversary of the War memorial cultural centre.

As part of the digital revolution Newcastle is currently experiencing, the Library will undergo some big changes to keep up to date.

A 'digital makerspace' will be developed in the upgrades and will include a range of new technology available to visitors, while another big change will be the creation of a children's zone.

The library will be closed from today until May the 8th, when a temporary library will operate until all the work is complete, estimated to be sometime around September.
