First opened on 17 February 1973, Springvale Library has played an important role in the lives of residents for more than four decades. From English language and literacy support to the introduction of new technology, the library has helped members learn new skills and continue lifelong learning. The library also offers collections in many different languages, reflecting the cultural diversity of the Greater Dandenong community.
