The Alice Springs Library is an essential part of the Central Australian community. It is utilised as a hub to meet, hang out, work, play, study, exhibit and hold an event. The Library hosts scores of community events each year, for a variety of ages and groups. We’re always looking to collaborate with local and interstate authors, artists, speakers, teachers and creatives. Please get in touch or swing by if you have a great idea, and you’d like to work with us or use the Library space.
Venue: Meeting Rooms and Multi-purpose space suitable for workshops, exhibitions, film screenings, performances and presentations.
