The Murray Library refurbishment is now complete, and the revitalised space is officially open to the community.
The upgrade delivers a brighter, more accessible and flexible library that reflects the evolving needs of residents while honouring the library’s place as a valued community hub.
The refurbishment included a full interior refresh, improved layout, updated furnishings, enhanced accessibility features and modernised spaces designed to support reading, learning and connection.
Alongside the physical transformation, the library has also unveiled refreshed branding that better reflects its welcoming, contemporary identity.
Shire of Murray Shire President Douglas McLarty said the upgrades mark an exciting new chapter for the library and the community it serves.
“The Murray Library is much-loved by our residents, and we are delighted to open the doors to a space that is more vibrant, accessible and adaptable,” President McLarty said.
“These improvements ensure the library continues to grow with our community and remains a place where people of all ages feel welcome.
“The refreshed branding complements the revitalised space. Our new look reflects who we are today, a modern, community-focused library that celebrates learning, creativity and connection.”
The Murray Library hosted a community event on 10 January 2026 to celebrate the refurbishment. They included kids’ entertainment, a petting zoo, coffee and ice cream van.
Community Bank Pinjarra Chair Shane Rowley said they were proud to have sponsored the refurbishment of the Murray Library.
“This project is only possible thanks to the continued support of our customers who choose to bank with us,” he said.
“The Community Bank model is unique, profits generated locally are reinvested back into local projects, rather than leaving the community. Every dollar we contribute comes from the loyalty of those who believe in local banking and want to see their community thrive.
“Together, we’re creating spaces that strengthen connection, foster learning, and enrich the lives of residents.”
