Hornsby Library Refurbishment
The refurbishment of Hornsby Library is underway and includes internal alterations and fit out to the existing library, minor external works and a business identification sign.
The construction company (Built Pty Limited) are undertaking the works, which will be completed in two stages.
Hornsby Library – Update to Temporary closure
The reopening of Hornsby Library has been postponed until early 2022 due to unforeseen building code compliance issues. We are endeavouring to resume normal opening hours as soon as possible. A date for reopening will be announced in the new year.
We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to showing you the refurbished library very soon.
