Yarra Plenty Regional Library (YPRL) is excited to announce the opening of the brand-new Rosanna Library on Wednesday, 21 January. This modern, multi-level facility is twice the size of the old Rosanna Library and will serve as a vibrant hub for learning, creativity, and community connection. 

The new library offers a welcoming space for all ages and is conveniently located next to Rosanna Station within the new Rosanna Woolworths complex and is co-located with Maternal Child Health services and the Banyule Toy Library.  

Visitors will enjoy a rich collection of books and resources, a dedicated children’s area, bookable study spaces and community rooms, and quiet rooms. 

Rosanna Library also introduces YPRL’s first podcasting and music recording studios, providing exciting opportunities for local creatives. 

Key features of the new Rosanna Library include: 

  • Regular programs and events for children, teens, and adults 

  • Podcasting and music recording studios 

  • Free bookable study spaces and quiet rooms 

  • Affordable AV-equipped meeting room and community rooms for hire 

  • Kitchenette facilities 

The Library was delivered as part of the Rosanna Station Precinct redevelopment through a partnership between Banyule City Council, the Victorian State Government and Woolworths. It will be managed by Yarra Plenty Regional Library. 

Quote attributable to YPRL CEO, Nicole Rudden: 

“I’m thrilled to open the doors to Rosanna Library and invite the community to explore everything the incredible space has to offer. From quiet reading and study spaces to cutting-edge creative studios and a dedicated area for children, Rosanna Library is beautiful and functional whatever your age, interest or need.” 

Thank you to everyone who used the Rosanna Library Pop-up during the construction of the new library. I hope you are as happy with the new library as we are.” 

Opening Date: Wednesday 21 January Location: 72 Turnham Avenue, Rosanna
