Historical information

In 1926 the former Mechanics Institute building on Stirling Terrace was vested in the Toodyay Road Board. The following year it was renovated and became the new Toodyay Road Board offices. In 1947 the Toodyay Public Library commenced in the southern room of the building. In March 1959 the Road Board Offices moved to the restored courthouse allowing the Toodyay Public Library to further expand into the space vacated by the Road Board.
