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.
During the refurbishment our collections, public computers, printing and photocopying will be moved to the centre of the library floor.
Hornsby Library – Update to Temporary closure
Due to circumstances beyond our control, the closure of Hornsby Library during the changeover between stages one and two has had to be extended. A date for reopening will be communicated as soon as it is confirmed. We are endeavouring to resume normal opening hours as soon as possible.
During the closure, the refurbishment of the library continues to the next exciting stage. Items can be renewed via the online catalogue, through the library app, or by contacting Pennant Hills Library on 9847 6100.
We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to showing you stage one of the works very soon.
Due to space limitations during the refurbishment, limited public PCs and power points are available, however, we are unable to provide study space. We apologise for any inconvenience.

We don’t take appointments to see a JP, but we suggest phoning to confirm availability before you visit in case the JP has cancelled with short notice.
Our JPs leave promptly at the end of their designated shifts. Please arrive with enough time for them to certify your documents.
JPs may limit the number of documents to certify in a session. This will be at the discretion of the JP in attendance. A JP may decline to witness or certify any document at anytime at their own discretion.
You can also find further listings of JPs on the Department of Attorney General and Justice website.
To confirm availability of JPs please call:
Hornsby Library: (02) 9847 6614
Pennant Hills Library: (02) 9847 6100
