Brief review
The library museum renders an architectural texture to the cityscape of Albury. Less than eight years old, the builders of the building in a dazzling orange and grey finish with a criss-cross architecture, is said to have been motivated by the historic Murray River rail bridge. The library impresses with facilities that meet the latest technology, free access to computer and free wifi. The center showcases Albury's rich culture and heritage and organizes interactive exhibitions, also furnishing the visitors with ample of reading and research materials.[3]
For those interested in history, the Crossing Place: A Story of Albury, helps to get an insight into the history of the city from the Wiradjuri, the Australian aborigines and the right owners of the land, the post-war European migration to the present-day big city.[3][4]
