Library grounds upgrade

A major upgrade of the grounds of Kilcullen Library is now under way, taking advantage of the summer holidays.

The work includes the lifting all the old concrete around the former National School, as well as the grassy areas, and replacing it with cobble-lock paving.

The recently installed ramps will also be finished in the paving system.

The building -- which was originally built as a Boys National School 80 years ago -- and the wall around the property will be repaired and painted as part of the works.

A recent modular extension to the Library added toilets, a kitchen, and storage areas, and also made the premises wheelchair-accessible.

The Kilcullen Library service has been managed by Julie Donoghue for almost three decades.
