Toorak/South Yarra Library is turning 50

Did you know Toorak/South Yarra Library is celebrating its 50th birthday in August? To celebrate we’re planning a weekend of activities and celebrations from 19 to 20 August. Save the date and help us celebrate this important milestone.

We're keen to capture and share your memories of the Toorak/South Yarra Library over the years.

Does our library hold a special place in your heart? Perhaps you attended storytime as a child, studied for uni exams, or saw a film in the downstairs cinema in the 1970s? Did you work from our library or see your favourite author speak here? We'd love to hear from you.
