    • Introduction of out-of-hours access at Kirrawee Library+, increasing flexibility and access to library spaces 
    • Growth in access to creative and digital learning opportunities, including podcast studios, recording spaces, media production facilities, creative software and technology-focused programs 
    • Expansion of community outreach and pop-up library services, helping connect with new and existing customers beyond library buildings 
    • Increased visibility and access to local history collections and digital heritage resources 
    • Continued growth in library programs, events and community participation, with strong attendance across learning, literacy, cultural and community programs.
