With a diverse collection of physical and digital materials, the library offers resources for entertainment, education, and personal growth.
Committed to promoting respect, integrity, and empowerment, Yarra Plenty Regional Library aims to be a ‘third space’ for the community, fostering connections and fairness among its patrons. Through a range of events, workshops, and programs for all ages, the library encourages reading, learning, creativity, and social engagement. By acknowledging the Traditional Owners of the land and supporting Indigenous communities, the library upholds values of inclusivity and cultural awareness.
With a strong emphasis on providing equitable access to collections, technology, and programs, Yarra Plenty Regional Library strives to create informed and creative communities that are connected and empowered.
