Regional Development Minister excited by Wodonga's new library which is due to open in June and is now at the lock-up stage

Mary-Anne Thomas had a tour of the two-storey building on Tuesday.

"The new library and cultural precinct is going to create a new icon in the town and will continue to grow facilities and amenities not just for locals, but for visitors alike," Ms Thomas said.
