In what was an 'emotional' farewell the library, which has been operating on that site since 1982, will be moved to its temporary home on High Street until the new library and museum is built on the current site.

Wodonga Library team leader Michelle Fracaro said they had a morning of farewell celebrations.

"It was such amazing turn out, we had more than 100 for the story time session this morning with children's librarian Heather McNamara, who is a bit of a superstar, read a book for the last time at the Hovell Street library," she said.

"We have had lots of community support and we are excited about the move."

Ms Fracaro said borrowing has been extended to six weeks to help with the move.
