New spaces to make Dandenong Library more welcoming

Key points

• Work starts next week on improvements to Dandenong Library in Melbourne's south-east. The upgrade adds a parents' room, a private multi-faith room for prayer and reflection, and extra study areas.
• Greater Dandenong Mayor Sophie Tan said the changes reflect the different ways people use the library. The work is due to finish by the end of December, and the library will stay open during construction, with some noise and short one-day closures possible.
• The $637,100 project is jointly funded by the council and the Victorian Government.
