There’s a fresh chapter unfolding at South Village Shopping Centre, and it’s one local families, creatives, students and storytellers won’t want to miss.
Kirrawee Library+ is now open, and this isn’t just a place to borrow books. It’s a fully modern, multi-purpose space where imagination, learning, and community connection all come to life.
Whether you’re wrangling toddlers who love Storytime, raising teens with a flair for content creation, or simply looking for a quiet, beautifully designed space to get some work done, this is a space built with you in mind.
Not Just a Library…
Let’s start with the essentials. Of course, you’ll find a rich and varied book collection for all ages, everything from board books and kids’ graphic novels to the latest page-turners and non-fiction gems. But the real magic is in what else you’ll find.
Here are just a few of the standout features inside this bright and inspiring space:
- Recording Studios
Whether you’re a budding podcaster, filmmaker or musician, Kirrawee Library+ gives you access to high-quality recording booths, editing software, green screens and even a live sound room. These facilities are bookable and available for public use, no fancy memberships or industry connections required. - Media Lab & Creative Suite
Got a project idea that needs digital polish? The creative suite is kitted out with the tools you need to bring your ideas to life, including software and workstations designed for content editing, graphic design, and more. - Musical Instruments & Tech Kits to Borrow
Not your typical library loans! You can now check out musical instruments, recording kits and more, just like borrowing a book. It’s a unique offering that opens the door to creativity for families who want to try something new without the upfront cost. - Flexible Work & Study Spaces
Need a peaceful spot to concentrate (without someone asking for a snack every 6 minutes)? Kirrawee Library+ offers quiet nooks, open desks and even bookable meeting rooms perfect for everything from solo work to group catch-ups and community events. - A Children’s Area They’ll Actually Want to Stay In
This isn’t a stuffy corner with two beanbags and an old picture book. The children’s area here is vibrant, inviting and designed for little readers to explore. Storytime sessions are held regularly, and families are encouraged to drop in, relax and let the kids lead the way.
Built for the Community
Kirrawee Library+ has been created with the future of libraries in mind, it’s a true community hub that celebrates the Sutherland Shire’s love of learning, creativity and connection.
Beyond books and studios, the venue is also home to bookable rooms for conferences, screenings, workshops, and community gatherings. It’s designed to grow with the needs of local residents, offering space, access and support for everything from local clubs to professional creatives.
Plus, with its central location inside South Village, it’s never been easier to make a day of it. Grab a coffee, hit the playground, pick up dinner on the way out—and enjoy a library experience that fits seamlessly into family life.
