St Kilda Library Temporary Closure

St Kilda Library will be temporarily closed from Monday 20 July until Sunday 26 July for upgrades.

St Kilda Library Upgrade

Our St Kilda Library will be temporarily closed from Monday 20 July until Sunday 26 July while we complete improvement works to the space.

The library will reopen on Monday 27 July, with refreshed facilities for the community to enjoy.

We're refreshing St Kilda Library with new furniture and improved spaces to create a more comfortable, welcoming, and functional experience for everyone.

During the closure

All our other library branches will be open and available. 

We will have a Click and collect service available at our St Kilda Library on weekdays only from 10 am to 6 pm. You can collect items, ask staff for help making reservations and for basic information enquiries.

Wi-Fi access will be available, with limited seating in the foyer during our open hours.

Our public Bathrooms will still be available during open hours.

Our Digital Collections will still be available 24/7.

We will be completely closed on both Saturday and Sunday during the uplift so we can safely reopen on the Monday.

What's being upgraded?

New Furniture

Visitors will enjoy new lounge seating near the entrance, creating a cosy space to relax, connect with others, and discover your next great read. New tables and chairs will also be installed throughout the library, providing more comfortable and flexible spaces for meeting friends, studying, working, or enjoying library services.

Service Desk Upgrade

We're also relocating and upgrading the customer service desk to make better use of the entrance area. This change will improve staff workflows, streamline the returns process, and help us deliver faster and more efficient customer service.

Privacy Screens

For students, remote workers, and laptop users, we're installing new shared study benches featuring additional power points and privacy screens. These upgrades will provide more convenient, comfortable spaces for focused work and study.

Our thanks

We appreciate your patience while we carry out these improvements to our library and we look forward to welcoming you back on Monday 27 July.
