East Melbourne Library

East Melbourne Library adds an everyday public facility to a suburb otherwise represented mainly by gardens and history. The official listing describes an ecologically sustainable library designed to minimise environmental impact and improve indoor air quality, with adult and children's collections, programs, a community garden with herbs and seasonal produce, and bee hives supplied by Melbourne City Rooftop Honey. It is most useful as a quiet indoor stop or family program venue, with hours and events checked before travel.
