During this time, the library building and car park will be inaccessible. Return chutes will also be closed.
If you’re an Ocean Grove Library customer, you can use any of our other libraries to borrow, place holds, or return items. Alternative nearby libraries include:
Thanks for your patience while this work is underway. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to a refreshed Ocean Grove Library when we reopen.
