Bayswater Library will relocate to a new purpose-built space within Mountain High Shopping Centre in mid-2025.
The library will feature:
- a 33% increase in floorspace
- two bookable meeting rooms
- two community rooms with a flexible dividing wall, accommodating gatherings of up to 40 people
- a dedicated gaming area
- an accessible toilet with a baby change facility
The interior design and layout of this brighter, modern space have been inspired by the natural environment and tailored to community needs.

Knox Mayor, Councillor Lisa Cooper said the new library, which was over a third larger than the old site, would provide even greater access for the community.
"The new location is designed to offer a versatile and inclusive environment for our community," she said.
"With spaces for work, study and play, accessibility features and dedicated areas for meetings and gatherings, we are committed to creating a welcoming hub that meets the diverse needs of our community."

The current library will remain open until the new space is complete and operational.
There will be a brief closure of one week to facilitate the transfer of equipment and books. During this time, other libraries within the Your Library network will remain accessible to the community. Further updates will be available closer to the time.
