New chapter for Knox Library

Listen

The much-anticipated Knox Library will open on Friday 8 March.

The new $5.4M library at Westfield Knox is twice the size of the old library, occupying about 2,000 square metres within the old Myer store on Level 3.

Knox Mayor, Councillor Jude Dwight said having the state-of-the-art library inside the shopping centre made it even more accessible for the community.

“As well as an impressive collection of books, DVDs and other items to borrow, and many purpose-built areas for community use, the library has a dedicated space for young people called The Youth Hive, a space for children, a garden room, computer area, lounges, study booths and meeting rooms,” she said.

“Knox Library is already one of our busiest branches and we expect the new library will attract even more community members.”

Included in the library’s design is a beautiful artwork by Kamara Morgan, a proud Yorta-Yorta, Gunai-Kurnai, Dja Dja Wurrung, Boonwurrung, Taungurung, and Baraparapa Aboriginal artist.

The artwork reflects Knox Library's link to Country and celebrates the library as a meeting place.

Council invested more than $4.9M in the library development, with a $450,000 contribution from the Victorian Government’s Living Libraries Infrastructure Program.
