Library locations
Opening hours
While opening hours and offerings vary between the libraries, all have 24-hour return chutes for return of borrowed items. There is also a 24 hour returns chute at Adelaide South West Community Centre and you can choose to collect requested library items from this centre.
Communication Access accreditation logo
All of our libraries offer Justice of the Peace services, are Communication Access accredited, and have printers, photocopiers, public computers, WiFi and internet access.
If you have an electric mobility device, you’ll appreciate the recharge station. Just look for the recharge sticker or ask the staff who will be happy to help you. Staff wear a bright green lanyard for easy identification and are trained in the use of communication boards to help those with communication issues.
