Bayswater Library is on the move

Listen

The new and improved Bayswater Library at Mountain High Shopping Centre is nearly ready, with the upgraded facility scheduled to open on 15 September.

While the finishing touches are being completed, Bayswater Library services, including the book return chute, will be unavailable from 1pm Saturday 6th September for one week. This will allow equipment and books to be transferred to the new location within the centre - shop 43 on the lower level, just behind the escalators. During this time, you are welcome to visit other libraries within Knox and the Your Library network to access services, return borrowed items and stay connected with the library community. 

The new Baywater Library will include:

  • a 55% increase in floor space
  • two bookable meeting rooms
  • two community rooms with a flexible dividing wall, accommodating gatherings of up to 40 people
  • an accessible toilet with baby change facility

The design also incorporates an open-plan layout with larger, brighter, and more contemporary areas for meeting, studying, working, and participating in community programs or workshops.

New signage, bookshelves, and a book return chute are included in the new fit-out and are being delivered with the support of the Victorian State Government's Living Libraries Infrastructure Program.
