About

The Little Library is a small public book-exchange located on Level 2 of La Trobe Street in central Melbourne, inside the Soul Origin food court. It operates on an honesty system: visitors can borrow a book and return it, or bring another book to exchange. The selection is modest but includes recent bestsellers and donated titles. Reviewers appreciate the community aspect and free access, though several mention the location can be noisy as it sits in a busy food court area.

Little is documented about working conditions at the space. The library is wheelchair accessible and open until 9 PM on Thursday and Friday, with earlier closing times on other days.
