The Quirindi Library precinct is a Contemporary Community, Art and Cultural Hub that is innovative and increases the livability of communities through improved social infrastructure and community programs.
The redeveloped Quirindi Library enables a greater range of activities and services for young children, young adults, and adults through the provision of digital facilities, meeting spaces, and areas for group activities (including art activities) within the Library, creating a community hub for art and culture for the Liverpool Plains community and visitors.
Aboriginal culture is central to the cultural fabric of Liverpool Plains, the building’s main colours of Black and Red represent the proud heritage and culture of the Kamilaroi people. The building itself represents the innovation and art and culture of the community with a dedicated public art gallery. The building is environmentally sustainable with all building materials and services being energy efficient and compliant with the relevant codes. Solar-powered skylights in the roof provide natural light into the building.
