Council could enhance library branches

Council director Julie Vaughan failed to rule out the possibility of a library closure on the Peninsula, either at Woy Woy or Umina, based on an independent report commissioned by the former Gosford Council in 2015.

The rationale for a potential closure was based on the perception that these two libraries did not adequately meet the needs of the community it serves.

I believe they provide a valuable service to all segments of our Peninsula community and are well supported.

As our Peninsula becomes more populated and as Council rates increase with new residential developments occurring regularly, it would appear Council could continue to not only fund library and community services at these two branches, but enhance them as well.
