The New Cronulla Library February 18, 2010
Although not officially new (it’s been open since late October 2009), Beach & Bay Realty staff have only just paid our first visit to Cronulla Library. And can I just say, we were very impressed! The new library in the Cronulla Central development (enter from Cronulla Mall or Croydon St) is 4 times as big as the old space and much more modern, fresh and colourful!
Kylie Emans had a quick chat to a staff member at the library this week and found out that the Sutherland Shire Council spent $130,000 establishing new collections for the library. There is a wide range of books – fiction & non-fiction, magazines, school resources and the 2nd largest audio & visual collection in the Sutherland Shire. In addition to this – there is a much bigger and brighter kids corner, a play station for gamers, several computers with internet and a wireless network which can be connected to via a $2 card. There are also lots of lounge chairs and tables and soon to be areas where the public can eat sandwiches and drink coffee (thanks to the café next door).
During the last 4 months there has been a much higher usage of the library with an increase in the number of registrations and loans – if you haven’t been down there yet, please go check it out! For more photos see here.
