Ocean Grove Library Temporary Closure

13 March 2026

**Update**

Painting work at Ocean Grove Library is almost complete, and the library will reopen as scheduled on Thursday 19 March. The roofing maintenance, however, will continue until Easter.

This means there may be increased noise during opening hours, and parking will be limited during this time.

Thanks for your patience and understanding. We look forward to seeing everyone next week

Ocean Grove Library will soon receive a refresh, with building and repainting works funded by the City of Greater Geelong. These improvements will improve the library space and customer experience.

To allow the works to be carried out safely, Ocean Grove Library will be closed from Thursday 26 February to Wednesday 18 March (inclusive).

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:

  • Boronggook Drysdale Library
  • Leopold Library
  • Barwon Heads Library
  • Queenscliff Library

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.

We’ll share updates here and on our social media channels if anything changes.
