About

Gold Coast Libraries is one of Australia's largest public library services. We provide access to nearly one million items to borrow, download or stream. We also offer an exciting program of activities and events to inspire, entertain and inform, and enticing community spaces for you to connect, learn and relax in.

We acknowledge and pay our respects to the people of the Yugambeh language region both past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who live here today.
