My local library: Brunswick (Moreland)

I'm lucky enough to live within reach of three public library networks: Melbourne City, Moreland City, and Moonee Valley City. Of these three, the service I use most is Melbourne City, but the library I visit most is Moreland City's Brunswick branch, as it is closest to my home and workplace.

The library is situated on Dawson St, just around the corner from the Brunswick Town Hall on busy Sydney Rd. Even though it looks a bit lacklustre from outside, the interior is colourful and modern, with large windows on one side allowing plenty of light into the children's area.

The staff are always lovely and happy to help, and the library has a broad range of resources to cater to its multicultural community of all ages. It's very close to both trams and trains, and right in the middle of the bustling cultural melting pot that is Brunswick.
