Ivanhoe Library and Cultural Hub

fantastic place with abundance of books! My daugher and I absolutely love the Chinese toddler story telling time!
Please add more Chinese activities for toddlers!

Wonderful new space, brilliant architecture that fits in beautifully with the 1937 heritage-listed town hall.

This is a great library for parents and kids. Went along to a book reading for babies today and had a lot of fun. The parents room and change room is good as well as the cafe. Looking forward to spending a lot of time here.
The Maker's Space is fantastic too with Laser Cutting, 3D Printing & a vinyl cutter

Nice clean open airy well lit plenty of computers lots too do

Nice renovation

I always feel good after visiting the library because of the lovely physical environment and professional and friendly staff.

its gorgeous here, they did an amzing job with the rebuild

Newly renovated and completely rethought.
It's a beautiful modern looking building with space to work, read quietly or even play for the kids. Inside is very spatious, including a café, a theater opening on the outside. The kids library is downstairs: shelves are no more crowded nor are the benches.

Fantastic library, huge selection of books, relaxing reading areas. Toddler story time is enjoyable experience lead by Nick who is absolutely the best at keeping kids engaged and having fun learning.

They've done a really good job on this place and it really does seem to be a community hub. Went in today for the first time since it was the old Libary and it was a hive of activity. Many people using the many spaces to work and study. The layout is great and the facilities are well thought out. Free Wifi, bookable study / meeting rooms, plugs and chargers for people to charge their devices, a cafe. Staff were on hand to help. It's one of the best suburban community 'hubs' I've see implemented. The other thing I really liked is the way they have integrated this new building onto the amazing and iconic Art Deco Town Hall building, really nicely done.

The new Library and Cultural Hub in Ivanhoe opened today and it's amazing. Study spaces, art rooms, an art gallery, amphitheatre, a cafe and of course books books books! Friendly lovely staff. I feel very lucky to have this on our doorstep.

Great space. A variety of informal work spaces available, as well as Maternal services, Children's Library, Maker's Space (featuring laser cutter and 3D printer), Artist studio, IT room with projector, Large community meeting rooms, art galleries and cafe. Gendered, non-gendered and ambulent toilets, changing place, parents room, drinking fountain, pushchair parking, bicycle parking, plentiful power and USB ports. A lovely centre with a positive vibe.

Very helpful staff especially girl named Erin who work on second floor she's very nice and professional with big knowledge about computers.i have only good words about that girl and this library management should be happy to have her as employee.

Everyone complaining about the noise doesn't realise that libraries are just as much community hubs as they are study spaces. Ivanhoe Library does their best to segregate the space by use - they have quiet upstairs study spaces as well as more liberal downstairs areas. The computer rooms are a godsend - I spent so much time there applying for jobs that I wouldn't have been able to reach as I didn't have a computer at home at that time.

Frankly, I'd take a little noise over being unemployed again.

Great service and lovely library environment.

Good library to attend with internet access, the compuers are seperated in there own area with tables in the middle. The site has been rebuilt and building has a more open feel. The car park has also changed with two parks for electric vehicles these two spots arrive by the main road. This place has a cafe indoors with grewt coffee and cakes. The libarary has lifts for peopke with needs.

Does get busy at times, however people are generally very respectful and the quiet study areas are good. Room bookings are useful too for those who want closed areas/groups.

Staff are extremely helpful and polite.

The Ivanhoe Library & Cultural Hub is now open. I only arrived as they were packing up from the opening ceremony, but the amazing architecture of the place more than compensated.
The art spaces are a feature & and I met the friendly artists in residence: Junko - she does Japanese Ink Art & Katherine - who works with colour.

Excellent range of books and very helpful staff

Beautiful new library and cultural hub with lifts and stairs, and a coffee shop. Separate space for the children's library. Great city views from the library.
