Plaza Library
The Plaza Library is the largest library in the service and acts as the main branch library. Management of Wyndham City Libraries is coordinated at the Plaza branch. Originally, the central branch of the Wyndham Library Service was located at the Civic Centre on Princes Highway, Werribee. The library opened at the Werribee Plaza Shopping Centre in 1993, was renovated in stages in the mid-2000s, and was updated in late 2010 with the integration of RFID technology.In January 2015, the Plaza Library moved to a new location in the redeveloped Werribee Plaza Shopping Centre.
Point Cook Library
The Point Cook Library opened in September 2009 as part of the Point Cook Community Learning Centre. The library covers approximately 950m². The Point Cook branch was the first Wyndham branch library to use RFID technology in its stock management.In its first two months of operation, the Point Cook Library had almost 45,000 unique visitors and recorded almost 78,000 loans.
Werribee Library
The Werribee Library opened in its current location, at the Wyndham Cultural Centre on Watton Street, in 2001. Previously it had operated from a smaller site on Barnes Place. The library underwent a major renovation in October 2010. A number of 'boutique'-style shelving areas were installed to promote browsing, to highlight general interest material and to improve both stock management and use.Manor Lakes Library
The Manor Lakes Library is part of the Manor Lakes Community Learning Centre, and opened on 4 July 2011, originally named Wyndham Vale Library. Its official opening on 10 November 2011 by then-local member and Prime Minister Julia Gillard was the only official opening of a public library by Gillard during her term as prime minister.The design of the Manor Lakes Community Learning Centre echoes that of the Point Cook Community Learning Centre, and indicates a strategy that partners public libraries with allied local government services, including kindergartens and child health services. The Manor Lakes Library hosted a visit from Victorian and interstate library professionals in 2012 as a site of "best practice" for Australian library and local government community facilities.
