Melbourne houses three branches of Brevard County Public Libraries including the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Public Library, Eau Gallie Public Library, and the Melbourne Public Library.

The first home of the Melbourne Public Library was established in 1924 with funds raised by the Library Association of Melbourne. The current Melbourne Public Library is a 25,000 square ft building located in Wells Park. It was first opened to the public in July 1989.

The Eau Gallie Public Library was also first opened in the 1920s, starting as a library for the Eau Gallie Woman's Club. In 1939, the club officially sponsored the small library, beginning with only 22 books. The current building opened in 1962, gradually expanding over the years. In October, 1990 the Eau Gallie Public Library had a collection of 67,023 volumes and over 25,000 registered borrowers, a testament to the faith of the founders of the Eau Gallie Woman's Club. The library is located in Riverfront Park overlooking the Indian River.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Brevard County Libraries|url=https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1120&context=flstud_pub|journal=|access-date=November 29, 2021|archive-date=November 29, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211129171426/https://digitalcommons.usf.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1120&context=flstud_pub|url-status=dead}}</ref>
