Our Branches
Easter long weekend and Anzac Day Hours: Our branches and return chutes will be closed for the Easter long weekend from Friday 18 April through to Monday 21 April and for Anzac Day on Friday 25 April. 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, throughout this period.
Due dates for borrowed items and collection dates for reservations have been automatically adjusted until after the Easter long weekend. Members can renew borrowed items and access content via the Newcastle Libraries app or website.
