If you are looking for a quiet place to read, write and reflect, visit our community hub: the Writers Victoria library.
Our library is located on the third floor of The Wheeler Centre, right next to our office. The library is open between 10am and 4pm on weekdays (excludes public holidays).
We are currently observing strict building capacity rules due to Covid and are not open for casual visits or drop-ins from members and the general public. If you would like to use our member facilities, please email members@writersvictoria.org.au and we may be able to arrange a booking for you during business hours (10AM–4PM, Monday to Friday). Visitors with appointments will be required to scan a QR code upon arrival.
