The Andrews Labor Government is continuing to support the Ararat Rural City Council better serve the local community.

Minister for Local Government Shaun Leane joined the Council today to officially unveil the upgraded mobile library and announce additional funding for a 24-hour smart locker system.

Through the Living Libraries Infrastructure Program, Ararat Rural City Council received $120,000 for the new vehicle which is now on the road and serving towns in the municipality including Streatham, Elmhurst, Pomonal, Moyston and Willaura and giving them access to weekly library services.

Ararat Rural City Council will also receive $23,500 from the Labor Government’s Living Libraries Infrastructure Program to set up a smart locker system at the Ararat Library, allowing members 24-hour access for drop off pick up.

This is in addition to the more than $67,000 provide to upgrade and refurbish the Ararat Library building making it a more welcoming place for locals to work, study and access the fantastic programs it has on offer.

The Living Libraries Infrastructure Program enables councils to deliver new or renewed library infrastructure to strengthen communities and encourage lifelong learning.
