Prahran Library refurbishment
Published on 21 July 2025
Prahran Library Update
June - August 2025
In late August the Prahran Library is moving back to Prahran Town Hall - to the space that until recently was used by Study@Greville.
Just before the library moves in, the space will undergo a makeover to accommodate more public access computers, more programs and events and a larger library collection than what was available at Prahran Square.
For more information about the Prahran Library refurbishment project please see stonnington.vic.gov.au/prahranlibrary.

The library will be relocated to Prahran Town Hall, in the space that until recently was known as the Study@Greville. In mid-August, we’ll open the Greville Street Library and have more public access computers, more programs and events and a larger library collection.
