Bentleigh Library and Youth Hub is temporarily closed from 6pm on Tuesday 21 July while essential maintenance works are carried out. Our other library locations remain open. For more information, including answers to frequently asked questions, please visit our FAQs.
Have you always wanted to trace your family history and didn’t know how to start? Or, have you made a start, but then hit a roadblock? Use the great genealogical online resources at the libraries, and come to our weekly Family History Centre sessions where we will guide you on your journey.
You can also take a look at these family history resources or check out the introductory research tutorials below from the team at Way Back When Historians.
Come along to our weekly workshop and grow your family tree. We can offer guidance on using resources, but cannot undertake extensive research on your behalf.
Limited numbers apply and bookings are essential.
Bookings can be made for single weekly sessions, up to seven days in advance. Bookings can be made online, at any Glen Eira Library or by calling 9524 3700.
