Our libraries are opened the longest in the country
Over $8 million is spent every year to maintain resources like books, journals, databases, AV and ebooks - so you can find the information you need for study.
In addition, since 2009 $7.5 million has been invested in major upgrades to areas in the Auchmuty, Huxley and the Central Coast. Check out the Flowers room at Auchmuty, the Huxley information Common and the new Central Coast extension.
