Exeter Library Re-opening
Exeter Library has had a makeover! Libraries Tasmania is excited to welcome
the community into the newly refurbished space, and we thank you for your
patience and support while we undertook this upgrade.
It means that the community can now enjoy our space and
services for many years to come. The upgrade included a
new service desk, new carpet, new shelving, painting, new
blinds, minor electrical work, and new furniture. We’re so
pleased the wooden shelving has also found a good home
at the Exeter Girl Guides - who have been able to utilise all
of the wooden shelving for use in their Guide Hut - and we
know are very appreciative of the donation.
A small re-opening of the Exeter Library was recently
attended by West Tamar Council Mayor Christine Holmdahl,
Counsellors Kearney, Ireland & Shegog, and a few key
community stakeholders. Long serving Exeter staff member,
Sallie, cut the cake alongside Mayor Holmdahl. Libraries
Tasmania would also like to thank West Tamar Council for
supporting and investing in the library, with recent works
also completed at the rear of the building, alongside
landscaping and the inclusion of adjacent public toilets.
Come and visit us today and see your fantastic new
community space!
