Today were spotlighting the Observatory library.

110 years of history, tucked right around the corner! 🏛️📖

From its humble beginnings in 1898 to becoming a heritage-listed community hub, the Observatory Library has been a beacon of relaxation and knowledge for over a century.

Have you visited lately? Let’s keep this legacy going for another 110 years!
