Bogan Shire Council adopted the NSW Library Act 1939 No 40 on 26th January 1972.   Nyngan Municipal library was opened in August 1971, becoming the Bogan Shire Library in January 1972 with council amalgamation. The first librarian was Mrs Sue Harvey, who was here on 23rd October to help us celebrate our new look library and the 75th Anniversary of the NSW Library Act.
