The positive feedback has been tremendous and all involved in the project are immensely proud and pleased at the support shown by the local community and visitors alike. There has been an incredible increase of 164% in library usage from the previous year with 600 new members joining between March and Dec.
The new facilities have also given the opportunity for numerous activities & events to place making the building a hub for the whole community. This Spring there are still lots of activities for the whole family to enjoy taking place. Click here for more details.
We are also very pleased that those visiting the building in an official capacity have been heaping their praise as well. Like the Oscars a couple of weeks ago it is now Award season in the Building Industry and the Masters House has been awarded/nominated by a number of bodies for some of the highest accolades in Construction. We will be attending the various ceremonies over the next couple of months so figures crossed!
