Festive Season Closures

All libraries, including our mobile libraries and the Kim barne thaliyu/Geelong Heritage Centre, will close at 5pm on 24 December 2024 and reopen on 2 January 2025.

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 and of course, you can always explore our eCollections even when our doors are shut.


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