About Unley libraries
Well beyond your traditional library service, Unley Libraries offers you a place to relax, seek your amusement and find your answers.
We have an extensive range of informative and entertaining events for adults, including adult education opportunities, and an outstanding program of children's activities.
We are part of the South Australian One Card Network giving you access to the resources of around 130 libraries across the state.
See below for our locations and opening hours. Please note that all library branches are closed on public holidays (inc. Easter weekend). After hours returns chutes are available at both Unley Civic and Goodwood Libraries for your convenience.
