The Keilor Library is a much loved welcoming space for all members of the community providing a variety of programs and services for readers and learners of all ages. In addition to the library collections, study/reading spaces, Learning Centre Rooms, computers, WIFI, video games area, and self-service facilities, Council will be constructing a new Outdoor lounge area in the parkland to the side of the library.

Upgrades will include an entrance to an outdoor program and seating area extending the library space by one-third of the existing space. This exciting new outdoor space will enable visitors to study, relax, read, and attend outdoor events.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback on proposed designs for this space.
