Newcastle Libraries is pleased to announce the re-opening of our library branches from Monday 25 October!
Like other venues operating under the NSW Public Health Order we must include entry requirements like wearing of facemasks, QR code check-in and proof of vaccination, until these requirements are relaxed.
In addition, we will use a Library Express service model designed to open our doors without compromising your health and safety.
We anticipate relaxation of COVID-19 entry requirements will occur on 15 December, or, whenever NSW reaches 95% fully vaccinated, whichever comes first (according to the current NSW Government Roadmap for easing COVID-19 restrictions).
More for Members - Our Library 2U and Reserve & Collect services are still available. You can contact us on 4974 5300 with any questions you may have about your loans, membership or our available services.
