Experience virtual reality, build amazing LEGO creations or join us for school holiday activities - kids and young people can enjoy a wide range of activities, services and activities at Armidale Regional Library, as well as our online services.
All regular activities at Armidale Regional Library's two locations are on hold while the buildings are closed to the public to protect the health of staff and community members during the COVID-19 pandemic.
