- Free school holiday activities at the new Knox Library
Make the new Knox Library your go-to for free activities these school holidays.
Alongside regular storytime sessions, special activities for young children include a Lego bridge-building challenge, a T-rex tea party, and Autumn nature art activities. Visit Your Library for details.
For older children, the Youth Hive will be running a special effects makeup workshop, henna tattoos, a Sporting Young Leaders program and more. See our website for information.
The $5.3 million library was funded by Knox City Council with a contribution of $450,000 from the Victorian Government through the Living Libraries Infrastructure Program.
It was officially opened by Mayor Jude Dwight and Member for Bayswater, Mr Jackson Taylor MP on 27 March 2024.
The library is fast becoming a popular destination for our community with many enjoying the facilities and activities on offer. Don't miss out! Head to level 3, Westfield Knox to explore.
