Northcote Library is a large building across from Northcote Plaza on Seperation Street. As one of…read morefour Darebin libraries it has a wide range of books, DVDs, magazines and Cd's. There is a charge to request a hold ($1) which is more then some libraries charge but less then others. Considering all the amazing lending you receive free a hold change is nothing to complain about is it? Northcote Library itself is well set out. On the ground level you will find the fiction area, information desk and public computers, on the upper level is the nonfiction, a large and colourful junior area, a Italian language area, audio visual and event room. This library is missing a large area for laptop and wifi users although there are study corrals with power points for this use. Staff are friendly and helpful and provide a wide range of free events, classes and storytimes! Northcote Li bray is a great community hub. If your planning to spend the day here keep in mind that a 3 hour parking limit applies at Northcote Plaza and there is limited all day parking in the near by area. Perhaps catch the tram!

I do adore my local biblioteca, the Northcote Library. I'm a student at UniMelb but live in this…read moreneck of the woods so I do come here a lot to study. The Internet is free (and pretty reliable) with a library card and they do have computer stations if you are sans-lappytop. Print stations are also there if you need to print off some sweet recipes or your underwater basket weaving thesis. I haven't ever had trouble finding a quiet table to study with a power port nearby to plug in. The book section isn't massive, but there is enough there that you should be able to find at least one or a few books you have been wanting to read but never got around to because of all those 30 Rock DVDs you bought. You can also check out the online catalog and order books from other Darebin library locations to be sent to you for hold at Northcote. There is a small DVD section that could honestly use a bit more options but the music selection seems to be pretty good. For the news junkies in the house, there are plenty of newspapers and mags to keep you winning the current events round at trivia. It's a welcome space for whatever you're looking for out of a library and you'd be simply mad to not utilize this awesome resource.

This library off Station Street is part of a community health centre and also part of the matching…read moreset of Darebin Council funded libraries. Though small in comparison to its friends it does the job. The staff are friendly and helpful, the wifi fast and there are tables with power outlets or computers if you are sans laptop. The library has a modern design and lots of windows to allow light to stream in. The kids area is off to one side which is a relief for those looking for a quiet spot to study... or write Yelp reviews, as one does:) The only thing that loses Darebin Libraries a star is that they charge $1 for holds, less then some but more then others. No dusty stacks in sight!

Average library in Melbourne's little suburb fairfield. Had a decent collection of books and…read moreaudiobooks for children. Staff service was average. Great atmosphere and vibe for studying though! Overall would still recommend.

This tiny library is located behind Bulleen Plaza which makes it a handy location to drop by after…read moreyour shopping. Apart from its convenient location, the space itself is too small for the stock and I'm afraid I am spoiled when it comes to libraries, so I expect space and light and technology. Bulleen falls short in each of these area's. As a member of the Whitehorse-Manningham Library service of which Bulleen is part of, you will have access to a great collection of books, magazines, DVDs and Cd's at no charge. Unless you return your loans late you cheeky devil. So obviously a library service is still a fantastic thing to have access too, however if your want a library to luxuriate in all morning then perhaps head to a larger branch. There are few desks for laptop users and newspaper readers which to me is a downfall. The staff here are friendly and helpful and there is plenty of parking nearby. The library does it's best with the little space it has and it does fit in with the atmosphere at Bulleen Plaza.
