Our Branches
Library Holiday Closures: Our libraries will close at 12pm on Friday 20 December and regular hours will resume from Thursday 2 January. Returns chutes will be closed at all branches (except Lambton). However, due dates will be extended beyond the closure period - so there's no rush to return your items.
Lambton Library’s Open+ technology will provide access for library members aged 16 and up (and those aged under 16 accompanied by an adult or carer) anytime between 7am and 9pm, seven days a week through the holiday period. Please note that holds placed between 20 December and 2 January will not be available for collection during this time.
Members can access the library's digital collection via the Newcastle Libraries app or website.
