We are delighted to announce that the brand new Biyal-a Armstrong Creek Library opens to our community on Thursday 1 August!
The distinctive library, located in the heart of the Armstrong Creek Town Centre precinct, was jointly funded by the City of Greater Geelong and the Victorian Government.
Our fantastic team is busily working behind the scenes before opening day, unpacking pallets and stocking items. There will be 32,000 new resources plus facilities, including outdoor terraces, a children’s storytime area, and multipurpose and creative spaces—including a media studio and maker space—all available for our community to use and enjoy.
Biyal-a’ (pronounced Be-al-a) is a Wadawurrung expression reflecting the surrounding valley-scape and its watercourse as a place of many red gums.
The striking building was designed by Buchan Architects, who worked with the Wadawurrung Traditional Owners to create a ‘living water’ narrative.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Biyal-a Armstrong Creek Library next month!
