TSM Marlborough gets a sneek peak

WILLIAM WOODWORTH

TSM Marlborough was invited for a walk through before the doors officially opened last Friday. It was a priviledge to get the communities first impression of the anicipated project.

The light and airy space is attractive and welcoming. The open plan area has been designed in a dynamic way to ensure each space is functional and inviting. From community meeting rooms, creative areas and of course row upon row of books, there truly is something for everyone.

Even under a grey Marlborough sky, light pours into the building, illuminating the high ceilings.

Mayor Nadine Taylor says the new library has been created with the community in mind.

“It gives Marlburians access to so many new features. It’s a building for all generations to use and we picture it being the living heart of the community as a fantastic place to hang out, try new things and meet up with friends and those with common interests”. Libraries Manager Glenn Webster says that libraries are much than just books.

“Libraries are so much more than just books now, and the co-location with the Art Gallery gives even more reasons for people to come in, use the building and have everything they want in one place.

“We’re thrilled that we have so much more space and variety of interests for everyone”.
