What is a Library Today? See this!!

South Perth’s new library is about to open. It’s a beauty. I think it answers the very real question of “What is a Library Today?” Sure, the design is stunning, the sense is dynamic and attention to detail is awesome.

If you have a moment this place is worth visiting to see how the community has come up with the answers to a modern question. Oh, and enjoy the experience too.

Something for all ages: story- timers, students, professionals and leisure readers, all can enjoy the natural light, the airy space, access to the books we love and the electronic info we crave.

Attention to environmental impact is a major feature of design. Thought about the role of a library has led to some new thinking. With help from WA Lotteries and the Federal Government, South Perth, our architects and builders have achieved something special.
