Library Strategy


Our Libraries
We have five libraries throughout the Georges River local government area. Two large libraries at Hurstville and Kogarah and three branch libraries at Oatley, Penshurst and South Hurstville.

Our Purpose
Our public library purpose is to provide free and open access to information as well as to provide a place for the whole community to come together and share ideas, knowledge and experiences. The way we fulfil our role has been and will continue to be transformed by the changing face of our diverse community as well as advances in online sources of information and digital opportunities.

Our Vision
By 2030 our libraries will be the centre of information, culture, history, inspiration, creativity and opportunity in support of the development of a diverse and resilient Georges River community. We will maintain a special focus on the principles of sustainability, accessibility and the professional development of our staff.
