Our local libraries are more than just a place where we keep books. In fact, it's a treasure trove of knowledge where you can access hard copy and online books, music and podcasts, movies, research material, local history and a whole heap more.
We'd like you to think of our libraries as an extension of your lounge room, a community hub if you like. There is something for everyone, from the young to the more stately and mature people of our community. Drop in and meet the friendly staff or visit the Maitland Library website.
