St Kilda Library Uplift project

Following community engagement, in December the first phase of the St Kilda Library Uplift project was completed. The second phase is planned for April 2026. Read more about each of the phases below.

Phase 1:

During this phase the children’s area was relocated, adjacent to the internal courtyard, reuniting families with the spectacular Mirka Mora mural that was painted with the children of Port Phillip. Public computers were relocated and a quiet study space with increased power options for device charging has been introduced as part of these works. Approximately 50,000 items were temporarily taken off the shelves to allow for their relocation and electrical works were undertaken.

Phase 2:

The second phase in April 2026 will see the introduction of new furniture to create a more vibrant space for families, increase comfortable seating for reading and relaxing as well as further comfortable study options in quieter spaces.
