St Kilda Library, Public library in St Kilda, Australia
The St Kilda Library building stands with raw concrete surfaces and geometric shapes, featuring deep fascias and spandrels throughout its structure.
The foundation stone placement occurred in August 1972, followed by the official opening by Governor of Victoria Sir Rohan Delacombe in May 1973.
The library organizes multilingual storytimes in Amharic, Arabic, German, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish to connect with diverse communities.
The facility operates from Monday through Wednesday until 8 PM, Thursday and Friday until 6 PM, Saturday until 5 PM, and Sunday from 2 PM.
Between 1992 and 1994, architects Ashton Raggatt McDougall added an extension with bluestone cladding to represent the role of books and electronic technology.
