Architecture
[edit | edit source]The library museum renders an architectural texture to the cityscape of Albury. The building is orange and grey with a criss-cross architecture said to have been motivated by the historic Murray River rail bridge.[according to whom?]
The library has free access to computer and free wifi.[2]
In the first year of its operation the building had 226,000 visitors, of which 80,000 entered the exhibition space.[3]
