Mr WOOD - 2001-11-29
I make a note that the Taminmin Library is a great library, and both the member for Goyder and myself are members of what we call The Friends of the Taminmin Library. The Taminmin Library has owned a government vehicle up to now, which not only helped facilitate delivery of library services to people in Litchfield Shire, it also delivers outreach services to people like the Old Timers, child care centres, community service points, and housebound people. It also did trips to Darwin to pick up books and was used to go to a central meeting. It also acted as the conduit for the Country Borrowers Service which is now based at Taminmin Library. Can the government please explain why this vehicle has now been taken away from Taminmin Library? Where has this vehicle now been allocated to, and would the minister please reverse this decision, as this is the only library in the rural area?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I inform the member that libraries are now in with Arts and Museums in the Department of Community Development, Sport and Cultural Affairs.
I thank you for your question, member for Nelson. I am not aware of the situation. I will get across the details of that, and get back to you as soon as I can.
