Reviews

  • Akhil Madhu

Such a perfect place for reading a studying. Great collection of books of all genre. Most of the popular magazine are available there. Very spacious interior and seating arrangements. This library has all the facility you could hope from a modern library. Lots of parking space available around the library all the time. All the staff are really friendly and helpful. The location is easily accessible by own vehicle or public transport, there’s a bus stop out front. I really appreciate the way they build this library to get a lot of natural sunlight into the building.

  • Mark Aidan

Very good spacious modern style library full of the old and new stuff as well. Staff are very knowledgeable and super helpful. Parking is a breeze and there is a bus stop out front. All the facilties you could hope for in a library. There is also a nice park out back if you want to take a break and have a wander. Air con is great on a hot day.

  • EWRE

Meaning of GLADYS: Nunawading has a Street called GLADYS, From the old Welsh name Gwladus, possibly derived from gwlad “country”. It has historically been used as a Welsh form of CLAUDIA. This name became popular outside of Wales after it was used in Ouida’s novel ‘Puck’ (1870). At Elite Women Real Estate, GLADYS Tay is part of Whitehorse.

  • Mr Greer

Great modern library, but personally prefer the traditional quiet librabries. Been here several times, and it's at least consistent, consistently filled with loud people sitting right beside signs titled "quiet study area". Make sure you have your best noise cancelling headphones when visiting . …

  • The Robsons

Really friendly and helpful staff. I had an issue with the printer and they came up to me. I probably wouldn't have gone and asked for help haha. Normally have computers available but always good to book one just incase. You can use them for 1hr at a time. Or bring your own laptop and connect to wifi.

  • Peter Sweet

Well stocked with lots of good fiction both classic and contemporary. Staff friendly and helpful responding to enquiries with enthusiasm. Great CD section with good selection of jazz and classical music. Overall far superior to Boxhill library with its dour, indifferent and generally unhelpful staff.

  • Rob Brailsford

This is such a good library and the staff are great. However there isn’t a quiet area to work or study, even the quiet study area. If it’s not people having phone conversations it’s kids running or being loud. Noise canceling headphones simply cannot mask the level of noise. I despair.

  • Belinda Dealy

Staff are always friendly and helpful. Great range of books in all categories. Story time here is a great experience for preschoolers. EBook collection is quite large and the software is easy to use. Children's programs and school holiday activities are a great way to engage the kids.

  • Kara Smulders

Lots of beautiful natural sunlight into the building and open windows with views of outdoor spaces. Heaps of parking and easy to access. Good place to spend the day studying in a peaceful environment. Little far away from any cafes or food places though

  • Cassie

I do love this library. However, Some people answered their phones all the time. Here is a library, not a coffee shop. Is there a possibility of having a sign like a quit zone in some specific areas? So nice and efficient staff! …

  • Frank Farnoosh

Good location. But people as well as Staff talk too loud!! Kids running around and some people talk over the phone too loud! Is it really difficult to teach people What the library culture is?!1 We need to remember... HERE IS A LIBRARY! Be quiet!

  • Vivienne Williams

  • Qayam Macknojia

Very nice and quite place to study. My favourite table was among the round tables with glass wall facing Maroonda highway/White horse road. Plenty of Parking. Both Vermont and Nunawading have excellent libraries.

  • Jac Jack

Nunawading is a great library with terrific selection. Afraid I was quite taken back by the Asian lady behind the counter and her finger pointing rudeness at my child. Take a chill pill lady.

  • Jazer Lee

I came to read a book for an hour. It's fairly silent, unlike some other libraries and so great for studying or reading. Place feels clean and modern. Come if you like bean bags!

  • Up South

Unlike the Pines branch which I just reviewed, you can get access to, and borrow, their magazines here. (But no longer because all branches just shut down again...)

  • Russell V

Ok library. They need to seriously upgrade the public computers though. Very slow starting up and getting online. Almost 3 to 4 minutes getting online.

  • Elijah Wade

Great library but holy hell it's loud please put in an actual quiet study area it's basically a daycare centre an a mobile call centre in one.

  • Christine Dian

Clean and organised library. I love the spacious and bright reading area. I usually come during off peak time so it’s always nice and quiet.

  • Sir Mr Guitar Dude

It's never open, you walk half an hour to charge your phone because of a power outage and it's closed at noon on a Wednesday. Why?

  • Lauren Arthur
