  This is a great place to visit to get yourself a great book or DVD. It' s 100% modern - love the self-checkouts!

  I love the Prahran library! I'm a voracious reader and this place holds a special place in my heart. Wide range of books, zines, and other resources in many languages - and they seem to be all highly curated and handpicked with love by the well-read staff. It's really easy to borrow books via the website (and you can get books from the other Stonnington libraries too, which means the entire catalogue is huge), the loan allowance is generous, the staff are lovely, and the space itself is very welcoming. Family-friendly, corners for kids and tweens, corners for loners and the elderly, everything is available. Last year I reached my goal of finishing 100 books in 12 months, and this year I'm on track to finish 200 books - much of this is because the Prahran library has such a good collection and I live in the neighborhood. I would't be able to afford the books otherwise; and there are so many great books I wouldn't think of choosing - but I did, because they were recommended by the library. Good job, guys!
