LibraryMuseum
Project Summary
Albury’s LibraryMuseum is a city landmark and community hub. Everyday around 800 people come to borrow books, browse, visit exhibitions, attend storytime, surf the net, research family history, attend meetings, shop, listen to music or to simply hang-out.
The project was ambitious; to create a signature facility that had the dignity of a civic building, and the ability to speak to future generations. The expressive elements including a planted granite embankment and the dramatic crossed façade are inspired by the region’s history and heritage. The building is also environmentally friendly with a focus inside on the latest technology and world-class facilities. These include the stunning exhibition Crossing Place telling the story of Albury, free wireless access, a groundbreaking web portal giving catalogue access to the city’s library, heritage and art collections, interactive film and photographic kiosks, and Making Tracks, a children’s trail exploring all the LibraryMuseum has to offer.
