A foundation stone was laid at a site in <a href="/wiki/St_Georges_Terrace" title="St Georges Terrace">St Georges Terrace</a> in 1887, however due to the lack of funds this site was not built upon. Instead, books to the value of £1000 were ordered from England, and the library found temporary accommodation in a building opposite the site. The Victoria Public Library, named in honour of Queen Victoria, opened on 26 January 1889.
