It will incorporate reading nooks and a range of different seating options. Level 3, lastly, will be the “quieter, more contemplative space,” allowing for research and study. It will include two small meetings rooms for up to eight people, study nooks and a large quiet study room for over 30 people. It will also include the Local History collection, and the Library staff workroom. As a whole, the new Library will be fully accessible with a large lift, as well as close access to car parking and transport. Due to its positioning within the centre of the Double Bay Shopping Precinct, Council predicts the library will attract a wide range of customers – even many new to libraries – as well as provide “a haven for busy shoppers, students, and the general public.” “It won’t just be a place to read books,” Allan says. “We see it as a major drawcard for residents and visitors. We see it as a place where there will be a lot of community activities, a lot of cultural activities, and a place for businesses to meet – it will be a new social hub for Double Bay.”
