Little Libraries

Moonee Valley Libraries is working with Moonee Valley Men’s Shed to make reading more accessible for all members of our community. Our Little Libraries are scattered around Moonee Valley. They operate on a take-one-leave-one system. We top them up regularly with pre-loved books from our collection, and community members can contribute their own unwanted books too.

Ascot Vale Leisure Centre
Our brand new community space at Ascot Vale Leisure Centre is not just a Little Library but also somewhere to play, study, and meet friends.

Essendon Traffic School
Is there anything more Melburnian than a classic tram filled with books?
We are a City of Literature after all!

Strathmore Little Library
We promise there are books other than the Yellow Pages in this phonebox themed Little Library.

JH Allan Reserve
Enjoy a walk on the grass, a play in the all-abilities playground, a run in the off-leash dog area, and of course, a second-hand book!

Black Sapphire Pirate Ship Playground*
The pirate ship playground beside the Maribyrnong River is a Moonee Valley must-see. Even pirates need books to read.
