Bunbury Library Visual Story

The library is housed in a two-story building with a modern design featuring glass, concrete, and steel. It sits on the side of a low-rise hill, surrounded by a park with grass, trees, and flower beds. The front area has paved concrete and tiled surfaces with benches and bike racks. Behind the building is a car park with marked accessible car parking spaces and a smooth concrete pathway leading to the library's automatic glass sliding doors. The pathway is step-free and bordered by low walls and trees providing some shade.

This space is used for library access and quiet outdoor seating. Activity levels may increase during business hours and events. Visitors may hear city sounds and birds from the nearby park. The area may have the scent of flowers from the gardens. The paved surfaces feel firm and even underfoot. The glass and metal building reflects sunlight, and the surrounding greenery adds visual contrast.

This library is an elongated rectangular space with shelving units spiralling out from the centre. The floor is covered with a wavy blue tile carpet. Shelves are made of light-coloured wood and white materials, with some on wheels for mobility. The ceiling is white with embedded fluorescent lighting that illuminates the books. Large windows near the ceiling provide natural light.

The entrance has glass doors and a step-free pathway leading to a curved service desk made of dark wood and white surfaces. Seating areas with chairs and small tables are placed near the shelves. Self-service checkout stations are located near the entrance. The layout allows clear pathways between shelves and seating areas.

This indoor area features red brick walls and a carpeted floor with square tiles in dark blue, purple, orange, and light blue. The space includes wooden shelving units filled with books, arranged in rows with clear pathways between them. Comfortable upholstered couches and booth seating with teal and dark blue fabric are positioned near the walls and windows. Comic book posters and murals decorate the brick walls. A neon-lit arcade game is located near a large window, adding visual interest. The ceiling is white with recessed lighting and ventilation panels.  

The area is used for reading, browsing books, and social interaction. Activity levels may increase with chatter and laughter during busier times. The carpeted floor and soft seating reduce noise. Natural light enters through large windows, and the neon arcade sign provides additional light. Visitors may hear conversations and the occasional arcade game sounds.

From the main entrance, this area is accessed by turning left past the returns section and continuing along a step-free pathway. Male and female toilets are located on the left, with an accessible bathroom on the right. The meeting and program rooms are positioned beyond this point.

The space includes two adjoining rooms separated by a movable wall. Both rooms feature blue carpet, fluorescent lighting, and air conditioning, with white tables and stackable chairs with purple fabric. One room includes a lectern, a kitchenette with a fridge and tea and coffee making facilities, and glass windows looking into the main library with blinds for privacy. The adjoining room includes a large digital screen, built-in cupboards, and a window with blinds. A small alcove kitchenette with a microwave and tea making facilities is also available. Doors to the rooms open in different directions.

These rooms are used for meetings, programs, and community activities. Activity levels may vary depending on scheduled events. When in use, visitors may hear conversations, presentations, or audio from the digital screen, while at quieter times the space remains enclosed with minimal noise from the main library.
