What's On at the Library
Easter Public Holidays
All Hornsby Shire libraries are closed from Friday 18 April to Monday 21 April 2025 (inclusive) for the Easter Public Holidays.
Normal opening hours resume at all libraries on Tuesday 22 April 2025.
Quiet Hour at Hornsby Library - Every Friday from 10am-11am
Starts Friday 9 May
Hornsby Library hosts a Quiet Hour each Friday from 10am-11am. The aim is to create a low sensory, peaceful setting and it is part of our commitment to making the library accessible to everyone.
Come in during this time for a calm and quiet library experience. During Quiet Hour, the library
transforms into a sensory friendly space:
- We reduce lighting where possible.
- We only use the announcement system for emergencies.
- We turn down our phones and computers.
- We keep conversations low
Our sensory-friendly hours are open to all ages and are family friendly. No bookings are necessary.
Find author talks, school holiday activities, financial seminars, local history talks and more on our Events Calendar.
