Council would like to announce the new and extended opening hours for Georges River Libraries has officially begun.
 
Council harmonised and increased the span of library opening hours at its meeting on Monday 28 November 2022.
 
The new hours will see Council’s five libraries extend to a combined total of 273 opening hours per week, with schedules to suit usage patterns of the community with morning programmes, after school and after work needs. 
 
The endorsed hours reflect the Libraries 2030 Strategy, which was approved by Council in May 2020. The Strategy established goals to guide the harmonisation of library hours and maximise community use.
 
Mayor Nick Katris said, “Thank you to the 634 community members who provided feedback in the consultation process last year.
 
“Libraries are a hub of creativity and connection with books, online resources, media labs, sound booths, music collections, children’s toys collections, creative workshops, author talks and more. I encourage residents of all ages to join your local library.”
