Our Library celebrates 15 years in the new building. Bassendean Memorial Library was built in 1972 on the original site of the war memorial. The library’s name acknowledges the community’s co-operation in allowing the memorial to be moved. In 2003 the community again selected 46 Old Perth Road as a preferred location for the new facility.
The old library was demolished in December 2004 and construction of the new building commenced early in 2005. The library moved to the current premises on October 2005.
