21st Century Libraries Strategy

A 21st Century Libraries Strategy is being developed to make the Armidale region’s libraries more vibrant hubs where people can learn, join in group activities or just meet friends.

Everyone in the community is invited to help shape the strategy, by sharing how they use the Armidale and Guyra libraries and how they would like to be able to use them in the future.

We want to make the libraries a more central part of residents’ daily lives, to connect with one another and, through digital technology, the rest of the world.

Provide your feedback by completing the online survey. Printed copies of the survey are also available at the Guyra and Armidale libraries.

Armidale Regional Council War Memorial Library

Established in 1954 Armidale Regional Council War Memorial Library has provided continuous service to the Armidale community for more than 60 years. Their vision is to provide a vibrant, generous public space for the whole community.

In May 2017 the Armidale War Memorial Library moved to its current location at 2/182 Rusden St Armidale into a fully refurbished space.
