Southbank Library at Boyd
Southbank Library is set within the heritage-listed former JH Boyd Girls' High School, which is now home to Boyd Community Hub, featuring artist studios, a cafe and maternal and child health services.
The library has a reader-friendly layout, similar to a bookshop, making it easy for borrowers to find their next great read. Unlike a traditional library, the non-fiction section is arranged by subject, with books clustered into popular topics such as home and lifestyle, food and drink, art and culture, and travel.

Enjoy a free hot drink & biscuit at the pop-up cafe, third Monday of every month, 12.30pm-1.30pm.
