Public libraries in Canberra

Canberra has 17 public libraries within 20 km of the city centre, listed closest first. The closest to the centre is Civic Library at City, 0.1 km away. A library is the cheapest hour out there is: free entry, a toilet, somewhere to sit, and at most branches a weekly story time or rhyme time for under-fives. Session days differ by branch and change each term, so each card links to the library's own page for this week's times.
