Library Collections on the move to Yarrila Place

Published on 21 July 2023

The Harry Bailey Memorial Library in the city centre is closing to the public on Saturday 5 August 2023 as work begins to transfer its collections to the new library at Yarrila Place.

So that library members and visitors are looked after, Toormina and Woolgoolga libraries will provide enhanced services for customers until the brand-new library is open. A separate media release will be provided in due course on the opening of Yarrila Place.

Regular library events such as Storytime will also continue as normal at both libraries.

• From 7 August 2023, Toormina library will temporarily extend its opening hours to 10am -6pm Monday to Friday, 10am -12pm on Saturdays.
• From 7 August 2023, Woolgoolga Library will open Monday – Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday 10am-12pm.

Library members will also be able to temporarily borrow up to 60 library items for up to 3 months and reserve a total of 30 items to make sure they continue to have as much access as possible.

Rapid Reads - short loan popular books - collections will be expanded at both libraries.

All eBooks, eAudiobooks and databases will continue to be available to library members as normal.

Information requests can be made to Toormina and Woolgoolga Libraries. Customers can also phone 6648 4900, or email coffs.library@chcc.nsw.gov.au for assistance.

Home Library Service members will continue to receive their regular delivery of library materials and will also be able to receive additional items during this time.
