Money for Living Libraries
The Victorian State Budget includes an allocation of $3 milliion for 2010-11 to continue the successful Living Libraries program. This program has assisted Local Government to build, re-furbish or re-build many libraries around the state so its continuation is most welcome. Guidelines and criteria will be announced shortly.
