Concord Library - Sydney
The Concord Library Centre in Sydney’s Inner West is a dramatic building positioned on an island site in a leafy residential suburban setting. The building houses the Canada Bay City Library of 2200m2 on two floors, the large Wellbank Children’s Centre occupies the lower ground floor. The external covered play areas, carpark and parkland combine to fill the remainder of the site and provide a co-ordinated curtilage for the new Centre.
The building was designed as an expression of the new paradigm for Civic libraries. It includes a range of flexible study and group spaces, a large community meeting room and cafe. The facility provides access to traditional resources, online digital collections, and a range of Council and Community support services.
