Mature trees and the old graveyard provide the setting for the building. Located just off the main street, the site provides a tranquil town centre space. In 2020 works commenced on enhancing the library and its grounds as an attractive ad welcoming civic space.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span>The largest burial plot in the graveyard is enclosed by beautiful wrought iron railings. Due to neglect over the decades, their condition had deteriorated significantly. A phased project was commenced in 2020 to repair and conserve the railings. In 2022, the railings on the east side of the plot will be conserved.
