Gerringong Library

Our Gerringong Library branch has relocated to the brand new Gerringong Library and Museum (GLaM) facility on Blackwood Street (across the road from the IGA).

The GLaM building integrates contemporary design and technology with the original, conserved heritage elements of the Gerringong School of Arts to create a combination library, museum (with the Gerringong and District Historical Society), exhibition gallery and community meeting space.

The new contemporary library sits behind the old School of Arts building, and is a bright, open and flexible space for books, programs, exhibitions and technology.

The library facility includes:

Brightly lit double-height space with beautiful hanging wooden acoustic panels
Comfortable reading nooks and study spaces, including desks and cushioned window bench seats
Public wifi, computers, printer and multimedia facilities
An expanded collection with hundreds of new books
Multipurpose flexible spaces for library programs, events and workshops, as well as community use, exhibitions and meetings
Enclosed landscaped outdoor areas for individual and group activity
Dedicated parking spaces and bike racks
Open five days a week, including Saturday mornings
24/7 returns chute.

Our library members are welcome to return items from our Kiama branch at Gerringong, and vice versa.

We can also send items from Kiama to Gerringong for collection on request, free of charge.
