Locations and opening hours

There are eight libraries across the inner west: Ashfield, Balmain, Dulwich Hill (Emanuel Tsardoulias Community), Haberfield, Leichhardt, Marrickville, Stanmore, Sydenham and Council's historical archive centre in Petersham.

While library systems are being harmonised, separate membership cards are currently needed for borrowing at former Ashfield, Leichhardt and Marrickville Libraries. However, your items can now be returned at any customer service centre or library across the entire Inner West Council area, no matter which branch they were borrowed from.

Marrickville Library reopens Thursday 3 January

Marrickville Library will be reopening on Thursday 3 January at 9am.

The library was temporarily closed because the building was broken into and vandalised over the holiday period, with damage to computers, property and equipment.

Entry to the library is changed for until the front doors are repaired. Signs will indicate the door to use to access the library, which is to the right of the front doors.

Thank you to everyone for their understanding and well-wishes regarding the closure.

All branches open on Australia Day, Saturday, 26 January

All library branches will be closed on the public holiday Monday, 28 January, re-opening Tuesday, 29 January.
