Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
The City of Perth Library is a public library service provided by the City of Perth.
The library is located on Hay Street, next to the Perth Town Hall.[1] It is part of the redevelopment of Cathedral Square, located between St Georges Terrace and Hay, Barrack and Pier Streets.[2]
Prior to the new building in 2016 the library had been based at a number of locations, most recently 140 William Street[3] in the Perth CBD.
The City of Perth library is separate in operations from the other major library in Perth, the State Library of Western Australia at the Alexander Library Building.
History
The City of Perth library has, since its inception, been housed in a number of locations. The site is situated where the library had previously been housed in a now demolished building, in the basement.[4]
New building
Kerry Hill Architects were awarded the design tender in 2011.[5] The library has a circular design with seven floors, glass facades, and stone-clad columns.[6] The City of Perth awarded the $33 million[7] construction contract to Doric Contractors, which began building works in 2013. Completion was expected by the end of 2014.[8] It opened on 1 March 2016.[9]
The library is the first civic building to be built by the City of Perth since the Perth Concert Hall in 1972.[10]
The building includes a 13-metre-tall (43 ft) vertical garden, the tallest in Perth, with more than 3500 plants.[11]
