Creating great library spaces for you to enjoy
If we told you that our libraries need to be ‘open spaces’, what would you understand that to be?
Is it about creating equitable physical access or removing the barriers people face in accessing digital content? It’s in fact both and more. We’re committed to opening our spaces, connecting with our community and welcoming new audiences, and as you may have noticed, we’ve already started.
Forestville Library
We’re enjoying welcoming you to our new look Forestville Library which has been transformed into a dynamic and flexible space full of opportunities. We’ve made a space that can meet community needs now and into the future with a community lounge and an entrance opened up to improve accessibility for all.
Warringah Mall Library
Warringah Mall Library has made improvements to the entrance and service areas with open space for customers and incorporating new shelving to show case new books and special displays.
The Creative Library
Opening in February 2022, and situated on level 1 within Manly Library, you’ll enjoy this re-imagined library space. Make sure you visit when it opens.
The Creative Library is a purpose-built space for all who wish to create, learn, teach, hold an exhibition, explore their creativity or just spend time in a creative environment.
The digital space
The pandemic has emphasised the significance of our virtual spaces, such as the eLibrary.
It is crucial for libraries to be open and accessible. We’re making this happen and can’t wait to share all the exciting plans we have to enhance our spaces for the future.
We’re committed to opening up our digital spaces so you feel confident connecting with us online. To support your digital literacy we've set up a process to help you. Complete the Technology Help Request form and we will be in touch. We're here to help, so please ask for assistance.
