“Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light.” Vera Nazarian
At the Ordinary Meeting of Council on Wednesday 22 February 2023, a passionate group of Killarney residents presented their vision for expanded library services and asked Council to consider the viability of a new branch in the community.
Prompted by this presentation and a commitment to provide improved services to the entire region, Council is calling on the community to give feedback on options for providing enhanced library services in Killarney.
Renowned local poet and Southern Downs Councillor Marco Gliori encouraged the community to have a voice on the future direction of library services to the Killarney community.
“Libraries are more than just books – they are an important community and cultural resource, and they enrich communities,” Councillor Gliori said.
“Gathering information through the survey process is a vital element of assessing the most viable options and determining how Council can best meet the needs and aspirations of the community.
“I thank the Killarney residents for reaching out to Council and presenting their vision for library services in the area.”
The survey is available online at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JY9ZLD9 and on the Southern Downs Libraries Facebook page. Paper copies are also available at the library branches in Allora, Stanthorpe and Warwick.
The survey closes on Friday 24 March 2023.
Southern Downs Regional Library operates with the assistance of the State Library Queensland and the Queensland Government.
