Glen Waverley Library

Good collection of books 📚 and great support staffs. Fantastic location and very central to everything...the Glen, Kings Way, Railway station, and GWSC. Due to its location, it is very popular and therefore can be a bit crowded, especially after school hours. If you would like to have a quiet few hours, please find the quiet room. I have been there on many occasions with my kids. They love to spend a few hours inside and out. The pingpong table is very popular, and the shaded sitting areas are very welcoming. There's a drinking water tap outside and clean toilets 🚻 inside. The staffs are always available to help with a smile. Parking can be an issue during the peak hours and weekends, so take 5 minutes extra in case you need it. It is better to avoid this library if you like a quiet area, and I would suggest you try the Wheelers Hill library.
There's an EV parking space available next to the library, so it can be useful for some while you read a book or enjoy a quick bite in the Kings Way.

Super easy getting set up with a card, and fantastic staff made it a pleasant experience - left me feeling very welcomed 😊

Laura deserves a promotion!

Glen Waverley library has the right mix of books, ambiences, surrounding and supportive staff ! Term breaks are manageable due to this one place!

The staff here are very friendly and do a great job in keeping the library clean and organised. Reservations are easy to organise and find. After school times on a weekday it can get very noisy and can be hard to find space, however it usually dies down pretty quickly. Overall a great place if you're looking to read or get some study done.

Clean and well organised library with a great selection of books. Staff are super helpful and friendly and it is a safe and inclusive space for everyone. There is a decent amount of work space for the size of the library with generous access to power outlets and fast and reliable wifi which is easy to log into - you just need to be a member which is free.

Regarding the 'noise issues' addressed in multiple reviews, I don't really find it an issue and if I do find myself being distracted while working, I put headphones in and problem solved. I find the fact that families/children and local teens use the library and generate some noise is a positive not a negative - this is clearly a library for the community that is open and accessible to everyone, not just a select few under very strict rules. It reminds me of the small, community focused library in the rural town I grew up in (high praise) which I was pleasantly surprised to discover in a city library, which can often feel detached and impersonal.

Friendly and helpful services. Clean and well lit library. Lots of seating and table space available for students. Big enough that children's classes do not bother the ambience of the library

Excellent! Staff are very friendly and the place is too good for kids too. Lots of variety of books and lots of space around to enjoy the reading environment 🙂

Librarians are very helpful and kind. Great vibes for study

Very nicely organized library with well-laid out content, lovely decor and a large forecourt. Getting a membership was a breeze thanks to the nice librarians who guided us. Will be back very soon,

An amazing library where the staff are very friendly. Every week I come here to study and it's a great place where you can be productive and get work done. Can admittedly be a bit noisy sometimes however. Always a good place to study.

Love visiting the library, the place feels like home, the staff are friendly and helpful and the place is always clean, neat and tidy

Staff is very professional and ready to assist always. Thanks Kate and Asian lady for your services. Appreciated.

Visiting this place before the pandemic and lockdown, they have a large collection of kids books and storytimes for babies and preschoolers. The library is conviniently located next to the Glen Waverley busy areas, so you can find many restaurants and cafes nearby.

Staff are great here!! Thanks

Excellent. Very helpful. Had been awhile since l'd used computer with usb. And moving files. Great help with everything

Friendly and helpful service. Thanks for the EAL reading club and lots of activities for the community.
