After five years at Prahran Square, the Prahran Library has officially returned to its home at Prahran Town Hall – and locals are thrilled.
The Greville Steet location has been made over with a fresh new look and offers twice the space of the Prahan Square site, with spaces to foster connection, learning, and creativity.
Inside the Greville Street Library, you'll find expanded book collections, more study areas and public computers, and spaces for events.
Librarian Phil Costello said the move has been long anticipated – and deeply welcomed.
"We've had many questions about when we may be returning to the Town Hall, and it's great to say that we're heading back. The Town Hall has such a strong historical connection with the library" he shared.
"We'll be able to do more with the community – more workshops, more activities for kids, more chances for people to connect."
The beloved Storytime sessions are returning, as well as Book Chat, digital learning programs, author talks and more.
And while the team is excited to be back, they look back on their time at Prahran Square fondly.
"We enjoyed being part of the Square and seeing the space come alive", Phil said.
"People would bring their kids to the playground, pop into the library, then head to the market or local shops. It became part of their daily routine."
So next time you're near the Prahran Town Hall and in need of a book, why not pop in and visit the new Greville Street Library? We'd love to see you.
The library is open Monday to Friday, 10:00am – 6:00pm and on Saturday from 10:00am – 1:00pm.
