Melbourne Art Library is a not-for-profit library providing an accessible and specialised collection of art and design books, serials, zines and other publications for the local arts community. It aims to connect emerging practitioners, the art-curious, and established researchers and arts professionals with hard to access resources. As an alternative to traditional research libraries, MAL has an open-door policy, encouraging collaboration, exploration, and tangential research. MAL is established on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nations in Naarm, Melbourne.
