The new Phillip Island Library is located within the Bass Coast Council Shire. It’s a place where you can learn and connect with others in your community.
The building was designed by renowned architects called Jackson Clements Burrows Architects (JCB) and our library offers a welcoming space that is easy to use for everyone. We’re also introducing 24/7 membership soon where you can become a member and access the library anytime, outside of staffed library hours.
Inside, we have something for everyone. Kids can explore our children’s library, while teenagers can have fun in the gaming area. If you need a quiet place to work or have Zoom meetings, we’ve got special booths for that. Plus, there are plenty of comfy seats, free Wi-Fi, and computers for you to use.
And there’s more to our library than just books. It’s also a place to connect with your community. You can find things like the local museum, theatre, meeting rooms and gallery. You can also get travel advice at the Visitor Information and support from the Bass Coast Council Customer Service, all located conveniently in the same building.
We’re not just a library; we’re a place where you can learn, have fun, and be a part of the community. Come and visit the Phillip Island Library today!
