The pop-up library is accessible by train, tram and bus. It is a ten minute walk from Newmarket Station (Craigieburn line). It is 200 metres from the route 57 tram (stop 29 - Flemington Racecourse/Racecourse Road). The 404 bus stops right outside the door at Edinburgh Street/Ascot Vale Road.

There is all day carparking on available on Racecourse Road in between the Bowls Club and the roundabout. There is limited short term parking (one hour) on Ascot Vale Road. There are also limited car spaces available outside the Christmas supplies store beside the pop-up.

Please be aware that parking around the library may be affected by events in the area, particularly relating to the Flemington Racecourse. Pay attention to signage surrounding the library to avoid parking fines. The list of upcoming events that effect parking can be found here: https://mvcc.vic.gov.au/majorevents/

These services are available at the Pop-up branch. You can also visit any of our other branches. Sam Merrifield in Moonee Ponds is recommended as there are more computers available. You can reserve a computer ahead of time here or by calling 9243 1900.

The return chute at Racecourse Road will be closed for the duration of the renovations. Items can be returned at the pop-up branch or to any of our four other branches.

If you are placing reservations through our catalogue, you can continue to choose Flemington as your pick-up location. These items will be waiting for you at the Pop-up branch.

Flemington's early literacy programs will be run from Crown Street Stables. The schedule has been amended, with Baby Rhyme Time and Toddler Time occurring in alternating weeks. See the full schedule here.

The first floor is having a complete redevelopment to create more space for community activities. Stay tuned for an update on floor plans!
