  Public libraries are modernising and offering more than before, with attendance for classes and programs almost doubling across the country in recent years.

The article from MSN discusses the transformation of local libraries in Australia into multifunctional community hubs, responding to increased patronage and evolving community needs. Libraries are no longer just repositories for books but have expanded to offer a variety of services including fitness classes, financial advice sessions, and even spaces for remote work. This shift is driven by a surge in library usage, with a notable example being the City of Sydney libraries, which saw a 20% increase in visits in 2023. These libraries now provide programs like yoga, pilates, and financial literacy workshops, aiming to cater to diverse community interests and needs. The evolution reflects a broader trend where libraries are becoming vital community centers, adapting to serve as social, educational, and recreational spaces in response to modern societal demands.
