Public library

👍👍 This place has become ONLY BETTER! I owe it to this place to keep me out of both the streets and the house during my teens. Learned so much, had a peaceful place to just go online, read books, do homework, draw and daydream. Feeling safe and like nobody was going to assault me was a nice break betw...

Wyndham Library Service - Julia Gillard Library Tarneit

Public library

👍 Excellent service by lady at service desk. Added technology made book borrowing and return super easy.

4.50 (161 reviews) (~16.26 km from centre)

Mill Park Library

Public library

😠 Used to be good, now it's a children's daycare with books. Be prepared to conjure up all your mental energy to concentrate as you have a frenzy of kids screaming and running around you. Aren't there enough daycare centres in the vicinity - do we really need to make a library, which are few and far b...

4.40 (196 reviews) (~26.59 km from centre)

Carnegie Library

Public library

👍 Has good spaces for studying but be warned - it's a very loud library. At various periods throughout the day parents bring their children (the library has an indoor children's area near the study spaces) and they WILL scream at the top of their lungs.

4.50 (140 reviews) (~16.35 km from centre)

Eltham Library

Public library

😠 Whilst trying to take our daughter out of the library we were loudly told off by one staff member for our 2yo making too much noise. We were already dealing with the 2yo and being rudely told off did not help (other than to cause her to cry even more). We left immediately.. I work with libraries reg...

Wyndham Library Service - Manor Lakes Branch

Public library

😠 Library is meant to be a place for study and other educational activities. Not for playing card in several groups, chat and socialise. There are pubs, hotels or their homes. I couldn’t understand how the library authority allowed that to be happen.

4.60 (81 reviews) (~24.44 km from centre)

Balwyn Library

Public library

👍👍 A beautiful building with great natural light and a good range of books. Also some nice places to study/work.

4.50 (95 reviews) (~18.32 km from centre)

Hoppers Crossing (Plaza) Library

Public library

👍 Not a bad library at all, it's just ruined by people who smell really bad...

4.50 (90 reviews) (~17.87 km from centre)

Brimbank Libraries:St Albans Library

Public library

😠 It amazes me how the library staff allow the older men who sit in a group outside, to sit there. I have received constant harassment from these guys and they don't do anything about it. Not a pleasant place to go to if you have to walk past them to go inside the library.

4.40 (104 reviews) (~13.33 km from centre)

Doncaster Library

Public library

😠 I have been coming to Doncaster Library for the last few months for studying before I go back to uni. Honestly, I have never experienced a 2-hour "loud-noise free" environment! Not even once! The facility and staff are good, but many users in the library are shockingly irresponsible and have no ide...

4.20 (139 reviews) (~22.93 km from centre)

Lalor Library

Public library

😐 The library itself is fine. I used the "parents room" when I was there. They keep it locked so you need a key to access it. There is no chair or anywhere to feed your baby. It was pretty dirty, no soap to wash your hands and the microwave was filthy. Lucky I didn't need to feed my baby or I'd have t...

Parkdale Library

Public library

👍 Nice library, the facilities are great. However if you are seeking an instructional book on table tennis, they only have one book :( Two books on the subject would be sufficient for 5 stars.

4.70 (51 reviews) (~24.01 km from centre)

Brimbank Libraries: Deer Park Library

Public library

👍👍 very friendly staffs and it is so quiet good for study thank you

4.40 (74 reviews) (~13.66 km from centre)

Wyndham Library Service - Werribee Branch

Public library

😐 I find the library to be a good place to read and find new books to endulge yourself in and to just get any work you may have done. They have a good amount of resources, including computers, desks/tables, dvds, etc. The staff are really nice and willing to answer any question/request you may have. T...

Cheltenham Library

Public library

👍 I haven't stepped inside a library for years. This place is orderly and clean. Staff are helpful too. I'd love to see it become more available, the hours aren't ideal, can't catch them in the mornings before work, can't catch them in the evenings after work, means a very short period of opportunity...

4.40 (56 reviews) (~20.74 km from centre)

Malvern Library

Public library

🫤 Lazy Customer Service. My first (and last) time was 8/7 to return books and pick- up more. I walked in and couldn't find a return chute so carried them with me while i picked out books to borrow. After making my selection i walked up to the counter and told the girl (who was doing nothing) that...

Brimbank Libraries: Sydenham Library

Library

😠 Staff, although kind, have 0 consideration for students studying. With crying babies, loud parents, loud laughing staff, it makes it incredibly hard to focus. This morning there was a baby sing along activity ??? I stormed out this morning and had to go to Caroline Springs library

4.20 (64 reviews) (~18.5 km from centre)

Diamond Valley Library

Public library

😠 One of the staff members was extremely loud the entire time we were there, to the point where we had to leave. If you're planning on doing any quiet reading or study, it's near impossible. Otherwise, it's a nice, modern library. Just a shame it doesn't provide a quiet environment

4.60 (34 reviews) (~26.36 km from centre)

Flemington Library

Public library

😠 Borrowed a new book. Book was not protected by the clear covering that usually covers library books. Accidentall damaged it when transferring it in my bag. Offered to replace the exact same book. Got refused and said I had to pay $35 (most other places sell it for $22). I found it unreasonable and u...
