Joining the library online just got easier
We have set up a new way to complete your online registration, so you can access all of these great services and resources quicker:
All our libraries, including the ACT Heritage Library, are open regular hours. Visits to the library can be up to 120 minutes (2 hours). Library programs in person and community room hire have restarted.
Use of the Check In CBR app is mandatory whenever you visit the library (it's now mandatory at businesses, venues and facilities across the ACT). Please ask staff if you need help, or do not have a device to check in on.
If you are visiting any of our branches, please follow the important conditions we have set.
