Keira and Lionel Bloomfield prepare the Smoking Ceremony at the font of the Library space
The Parkes Library and Cultural Centre was officially opened last Friday after a successful $3.4 million extension.
The new architecturally designed indoor and outdoor facility offers the local community an innovative and modern expansion to deliver new dynamic art, cultural and education spaces plus a brand-new intergenerational Makerspace Studio which will provide a wide range of creative learning opportunities, experiences and events.
Other features of the newly refurbished facility include lounge areas, meeting and quiet study spaces, local studies room with access to ancestry.com and expanded indoor and outdoor spaces for children’s and early learning programs.
Parkes Shire Deputy Mayor Barbara Newton was ecstatic with how the new centre has turned out and what it means for the region.
