St Kilda Library
==History==
The history of the St Kilda Library dates back to 1860, when the St Kilda Council received a community request to fund a free public library to be built coinciding with a building for the Mechanics’ Institute.〔Peterson, R 2005, ''A Place of Sensuous Resort: Buildings of St Kilda and their people'', St Kilda Historical Society, Balaclava, Victoria, pp. 171-173, ISBN number 0975106066〕 This plan did not come to fruition and instead by 1863 a book collection was housed in the old Town Hall located at the junction of Barkly and Acland Streets in St Kilda and then in 1910 in the current Town Hall in Carlisle Street.〔 The library did not survive and was forced to close within the year. Then in 1953, the proposal for the construction of a free public library was once again voiced in community circles to no avail. In 1967, the proposition found its way into political debate which resulted in a council commitment of an insufficient $50,000 contribution towards the building. Eventually there was an agreement upon a tender of $417 000 to build Enrico Taglietti’s design in 1971 at 150 Carlisle Street.〔 The building was officially opened in May 1973 by the Victorian Governor and has since become a local landmark.
Between 1992 and 1994, an extension was added by Melbourne architecture firm Ashton Raggatt McDougall (ARM) which provided a new entrance wing as well as seeking to redefine the public plaza and façade of the library facing onto Carlisle Street.〔Ashton Raggatt McDougall Pty Ltd. 1995, St Kilda Public Library extension, ''Transition'', (47), pp. 32-35, ISSN number 0157-7344〕
