#blogjune Balwyn Library


The house and surgery of Dr Inglis stood on the site of the Balwyn Library at 336 Whitehorse Road, Balwyn. This photograph was taken in 1919.

Dr E.M.H. Inglis(1891-1955)was Balwyn's first doctor.




Balwyn Library was opened in February 1978. It was designed by Daryl Jackson, Evan Walker Architects Pty Ltd and received a citation in the public libraries section of the Library Design Awards.

My grandmother was the first member of the public through the doors of the new Balwyn Library opened. She loved the library, as I did growing up. Might be why I'm a librarian now. Helen
