Book a space at City Library
The ground floor has been revitalised, making it quick and easy to browse books. The first floor is fitted out to provide spaces for the community to come together for meetings, study and coworking. City Library has comfortable, functional and affordable spaces for hire for community and commercial groups. The rooms for hire are suitable for:
- meetings
- community education programs
- seminars and conferences
- training
- exhibitions.
We want City Library to be a place where programs and opportunities can be created for the community, by the community.
In line with Council’s 2025-26 budget, hire fees will change from 1 July 2025. All booking requests processed prior to close of business on Monday 30 June 2025 will remain at the 2024-25 amounts.
