Festive Season Closures

All of our libraries, mobile libraries and Kim barne thaliyu/Geelong Heritage Centre will be closed from Sunday, 24 December - Monday, 1 January inclusive.

We will see you again on Tuesday, 2 January, with our regular opening hours!

All returns chutes will be closed. Please hold onto your library items until we reopen - a reminder that we don't charge fines.

So remember to stock up before the break -- everyone has a limit of 40 items. And, of course, you can always explore our eCollections even when our doors are shut. Happy holidays!
 

Our eCollections are open to members 24/7. If you’re not one, use the free time to become a member today!
