Renew Our Libraries
Libraries are more important than ever, with yearly visits to NSW public libraries up from 27 million in 2000 to over 35 million in 2017. Today's libraries are about more than books – they are valuable centres for people to access information and knowledge, to meet new people and learn new skills.
Lending your support will help to ensure that our libraries continue to have the resources to provide the services that our communities deserve. You can show your support for public libraries by signing the Renew Our Libraries petition: http://www.mrl.nsw.gov.au/programs-and-events/renew-our-libraries.
Macquarie Regional Library is located at the corner of Talbragar and Macquarie Streets, Dubbo. Phone 6801 4510 Website: www.mrl.nsw.gov.au.
