Wyndham City Council will receive a valuable investment in the future of their local libraries, thanks to the Andrews Labor Government’s Public Libraries Funding Program.
$1,592,725 is being invested into Wyndham’s public libraries.
As Victorians continue to feel the impacts of the pandemic, libraries across Wyndham have demonstrated innovation and dedication to communities, such as through pop-up library services at local shopping centres.
The Public Libraries Funding Program provides annual funding for public libraries across Victoria so that they can provide valuable library services. This funding will expand library collections, boost online services and provide library and outreach programs.
The Public Libraries Funding Program has been allocated $48.1 million in funding for the 2022-2023 financial year.
Since 2015, the Labor Government has invested more than $354 million through the Public Libraries Funding Program.
Local libraries are much-loved community facilities in Victoria. Across the state, more than two million library members borrow more than 31 million items from libraries every year.
