Moe Library–The Frank Bartlett Library & Moe Service Centre

+ Add to Itinerary

Architect/Designer: FJC Studio

Description

Completed in 2016, the Frank Bartlett Memorial Library and Moe Service Centre, is a contemporary civic hub that brings together library services and key council functions under one roof.

Designed as a welcoming, multi-purpose community space, the building reflects a strong focus on accessibility, openness and connection. Its flexible design prioritises supports a wide range of uses, from quiet reading and study to community programs, events and customer service interactions.

Recognised with the 2017 Walter Burley Griffin Award for Urban Design, the facility is celebrated for its contribution to Moe’s revitalisation and for its role as a vibrant, inclusive destination for the community.

What's On

Come explore both the public spaces and behind-the-scenes areas of the library in a relaxed and engaging environment.

Join a guided tour to the library’s research and local history room, where you can discover historical records, photographs, and resources. It's a unique opportunity to go beyond the front counter and gain insight into how the library operates day-to-day.

Visitors can also meet library staff and learn more about the wide range of programs and services on offer including digital literacy support, local history resources, children's activities and community programs.

On both days at 12pm, head to the Moe Library Forecourt for a free, family-friendly outdoor performance by CHEAP-SKATE.
