Frequently asked questions about this venue
-
Can I move the furniture on the Terrace?The furniture on the Terrace can be moved by Library staff only. Some of the smaller pieces of furniture can be removed for a function, but the large wooden tables and benches can only be move around on the Terrace.
-
Why do I have to pay for security?For any function that occurs outside of the Library’s normal opening hours, the presence of the City’s licensed security guards is required. The cost for security is on-charged to hirers and quoted with the hire fees. The security guard is essential to provide access when entering and exiting the building and for the safety of all guests.
-
Why can’t I start my event before the Library closes?The City of Perth Library is first and foremost a community facility with public access, which includes the Terrace area. For this reason we are only able to provide this space for private hire after the Library is closed to the public.
-
Do you provide catering? Can I self-cater?The City of Perth Library does not provide catering, hirers must organise that independently. Self-catering is permitted to a degree, but hirers will be asked to review food handling information and to complete a food safety plan. The City of Perth Library does not have a Liquor Licence but limited service of alcohol is permitted under the considerations of the Liquor Control Act 1988.
-
Why do I need to have a site visit?The Library is an architectural delight as well as a public building, which means that there are some peculiarities with the building which may impact on event planning. We strongly recommend potential hirers come in for a site visit so that we can discuss these details in person and answer any questions. We find that this is much easier to do in person than by email.
