Hobart Library upgrade and temporary closure

Hobart Library will be closed for renovations from 30 March – 1 April.

The library on Level 1 will temporarily close at the end of March while we create a more accessible and user-friendly space.

These changes will help improve the layout, make it easier to find what you’re looking for, and help us to deliver a better experience for all visitors.

The library will reopen on Thursday 2 April 2026.
