The Bega Valley officially opened the new Tura Marrang Library and Community Centre on 25 June. Opened by Mayor Michael Britten, State Librarian Dr Alex Byrne and The Hon. Andrew Constance, Member for Bega, the event was a resounding success with 1,125 people attending. What was once a dark inward looking tavern is now a light, bright, dynamic community asset. In its first month, the library has welcomed 295 new members, welcomed back 367 old members, loaned 7,166 items and had 8,033 visitors.
