Australia Day Public Holiday Closure – 27 January

City of Ryde Libraries will be closed on Monday 27 January for Australia Day Public Holiday. Eastwood, North Ryde and West Ryde branches will reopen on Tuesday 28 January at 9.30am and Ryde branch will reopen at 9.00am, due to our current School Holiday Hours trial.

Our normal opening hours will apply on Sunday 26 January. After-hours return chutes and online services will still be available during this time.

Quiet Hours

City of Ryde Libraries is committed to providing a range of accessibility needs. From December we will be implementing Quiet Hour sessions. During Quiet Hour, our branches will aim to create a low sensory environment by having dimmed lighting, minimal noise and low-level conversations (where possible). Visit our library during these times for a calm library experience.
