After careful consideration and discussions regarding the rapidly changing COVID-19 situation, our libraries are closed until further notice. This includes all four library branches: Malvern, Phoenix Park, Prahran and Toorak/South Yarra, and the Stonnington History Centre.
We understand that a library is an important place for many, and we’re working through how we can continue to safely provide a library service to you. We are slowly transitioning our programs online through our social media channels. Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. If you haven’t yet already, we encourage you to discover our extensive eLibrary of eBooks, eAudiobooks, digital magazines and newspapers, music and film streaming, eReference and eLearning.
