Branch Details

Healesville library opened on 10th December 1975. From a small area tucked away beneath the Memorial Hall, the library space has been added to and modernised over the years and today is a bright, modern, comfortable and inviting building. The scale of the building and services offered ensures it is a valued resource used by a large number of the community. Children’s storytimes, school holiday programs, music, guest speakers and craft and writing workshops all contribute to the library’s popularity.
