Specialist Library

Eating Disorders Victoria has a comprehensive specialist library of books and DVDs on all eating disorders and related issues.  There are resources which are suitable for people experiencing or recovered from an eating disorder, as well as a broad range of options suitable for family members and friends of a person experiencing an eating disorder and health professionals.

The EDV library is updated regularly with the new and latest books and resources available on all eating disorder related topics.

The EDV librarian can help you find information of particular interest to people affected by eating disorders, including (but not limited to):

• Understanding eating disorders

• Tools for helping to overcome an eating disorder

• Stories from those who have recovered from an eating disorder

• Help for developing healthy, balanced eating habits

• Help to develop a healthy body image

• Self-help and self-care

You must be a member of Eating Disorders Victoria to borrow from the library.

Library Hours of Operation

The library is open Monday - Friday from 10 - 4pm.

The library is closed on public holidays and between Christmas and New Years Day. It is advisable to ring before visiting to check for any alterations to normal hours.

If members are unable to get to Glen Iris, they can still borrow books from the library by arranging with the librarian to have your choice of books posted out to you, if available at the time of your request. For a comprehensive list of titles please click here.  

Items borrowed can be returned out of hours via the slot in the front door of the office. Alternatively, if people are unable to bring them back, they can be posted to us to ensure they are returned on time.
