Sam Merrifield Library

This very well maintained library is near Moonee Ponds junction and few steps away from clock tower.

Great collection. Spacious, and brighty light environment.
Has multiple seating spaces & lot of charging ports too.

They also have the old electronics recycle ♻ program which I love!
I must mention staff are very friendly.

As a full time carer the library is an important resource to maintain contact and help me to access information and to virtually socialize.

Great library for the whole family!!!! Very helpful staff as well, highly recommended!!!

Went there with some friends to study. it was so nice. They had a good selection of seats and the libary is clean and kinda big. They seemed to have a good selection of books too. Free wifi and free charging. I'm definitely going back there to study again.

Very nice clean and modern library. Love the recycling station they have going specifically targeted at e-waste, seemed to be filling up nicely. Had full range of amenities like printers, computers(which were fast), toilets and meeting rooms. Plenty of programs run daily for people of the public like chess club, English conversation and current affairs. Plenty of quiet spots to sit down and snuggle up to a book or study hard at a desk.
Great library

Been going to this library for over a decade now. The self-serve check-out counters are so easy to use and avoids the queue from former librarian check-out days. There’s still a team of librarians present to assist with queries both in-person and by phone - my experience with both have been smooth. Online borrowing/requesting is also very straightforward.

Great library in Moonee Ponds. the library is spacious, clean and quiet. Also, the staff working there are lovely

Lovely library. I come here to work on my laptop. There is always room, you can look outside or go into a quite study space. The people who come to the library are very respectful and are quiet. They also run sing a long groups for kids, rather than annoying its actually heart warming hearing them learn nursery rhymes. There are also toilets and taps always clean. There are workshops as well. A very well fun place.

It's a simple and anyone can come here. For example, it is a good place with children.

Beautiful Library and facilities. The Staff provide a good quality services to assist all the public, community and members provide with a range of information. The Library books, magazines and newspapers, films DVD collections is excellent.

Great library. Nice atmosphere

Spacious, segregated compartments as per variety of needs such as silent room for study, space for kids activities, rooms for meetings of elderly people. Comfortable couches to read books and friendly staff. Just love this place.

I've just moved to Moonee Ponds and was looking for a place to study for uni. It's a great location right near the moonee ponds junction so you can get a coffee and head over. Lots of seating areas, computers if you need, internet access and quiet. Going to be a regular now

Peaceful library situated opposite the Queenspark. A huge selection of books, including a diverse range of art history, writing references & biographies. New release DVD's are a good find & the magazines are generally up to date. Friendly staff, a great place to quietly browse.

Beautiful library with helpful and accomodating staff. First time I've seen a library with exericse machines to break up your study. There is also a slient study section at the back in a closed off room which is think is just fantastic. heaps of different types of chairs for if you want to study at a desk solo, with a friend, of if you want to read a book there are plenty of armchairs. I will make this my regular library after such a great experince! thank you :D

All the warmest and most lovely people come together and work at this library it seems. Such a nice place :)

Requested a book Sunday morning by computer, and was able to collect it in the afternoon. Thank you library personnel for excellent service.

Perfect place to study. Quiet, cozy, with great wifi for all, and friendly staff.

Nice, quiet and convenience place for reading or working on the laptop.
