In August of 1966 the remnants of the hall, built more than thirty years previously through the actions of local citizens, was demolished to be replaced by a library and parking for an increasingly mobile community.

The library, a branch of the main City of Moorabbin Library at Bentleigh was opened by the mayor, Cr Bill Fry, on August 1, 1969 amidst acclamation from local people. Today the building continues to serve the Highett community as the Highett Branch of the City of Kingston Library and Information Service.
