Hawkesbury Library receives $200,000 Public Library Infrastructure grant for new Technology Hub

Hawkesbury Central Library in Windsor will receive a substantial grant to improve its public library building and technology as part of the NSW Government’s Public Library Infrastructure Grant program for public libraries across NSW.

Hawkesbury Central Library in Windsor will receive $200,000 for a New Technology Hub to be created in its existing computer room.

The Mayor of Hawkesbury, Councillor Sarah McMahon, congratulated Library staff on receiving the grant.

“Our community will benefit in many ways from this substantial upgrade,” Mayor McMahon said.

“These improvements will make it easier for more people to access the high-quality collections, enhance connectivity, and make contemporary library functions such as podcast creation available.

“Congratulations to the staff who worked on this competitive application to make our Library an even better space for our community!”

State Librarian Dr Caroline Butler-Bowdon commented, “Public libraries welcome everyone and are such important free spaces, providing services that nourish education, literacy, culture and recreation”.

Hawkesbury City Council says it is proudly funded by the NSW Government under the Public Library Infrastructure Grant program.
