When the School of Arts closed in 1943, the building was acquired by Deniliquin Council and housed the Regional Library from 1946 to 1967, which was the first regional library in Australia.

Following cracks appearing in 1950, the statues were removed and eventually restored and relocated to the Waring Gardens.
