Welcome
Serving the Western Suburbs of Melbourne since 1856, the library is part of the Mechanics' Institute movement dedicated to providing working people
with education, entertainment and social inclusion.
Situated in its present building in the heart of Footscray since 1913, the library is here for the benefit of members, providing book loans, access to Billiards Room at members' special rates, use of Reading Room, including free wifi for members, and meeting room bookings.
New members are always welcome. Contact us for more info.
You can find our Library Catalogue on the top toolbar,
