Woollahra Library at Double Bay

Absolutely gorgeous library split across 3 levels in the heart of Double Bay and our local shops. PARKING: some side street parking is available. There is a public car park as part of the Woolworths building too. BOOK SELECTION: Very extensive with a great history section upstairs with carefully considered wide benches to bring historical documents out onto. INTERIOR: Modern meets quirky and minimalist. Several little nooks located around greenery areas and next to windows with plenty of natural light and the added bonus of being able to look downstairs into the shopping centre or outside into the street. With efficient double glazing blocking out external noise. There is also a larger for sealed quiet study area upstairs and several book-able meeting rooms for students to study in. For the kids there's also access to the slide (which adults can use too!) at certain times of the day. Definitely a place you want to keep coming back to, with children's areas well set up to snuggle in and read. STAFF: Very knowledgeable, kind and efficient. ACCESSIBILITY: Wheelchair, walker and pram friendly with access across all levels and clean toilets available on site. OVERALL: One of the best libraries around without doubt! Will continue to come back.

Ravishing library, lovely interior, felt the vibe as soon as I came in. Plenty of space to sit, excellent to read and work individually or with a group. Wide range of books and easy to look for. Friendly staff, didn't have a chance to talk with them but they smiled at me every time I passed by. There's a small playground for the children so it was quite noisy sometimes. But most of the time, it was remarkably quiet. I enjoyed my time there and would certainly comeback.

omg! so beautiful, very comfy, a lot sofas to seat and chill when you are reading or searching in the computer ( studying idk) i love it, i did my member card with Laura and she was amazing, Thank you! ;) Ss2 I’ve taken 2 amazing books.

A beautifully designed, well thought-out space that caters to a variety of community needs. The greenery around the library is absolutely stunning. If you are planning to use the study/ quiet spaces I would recommend arriving early as these tend to fill up quickly and are consistently full throughout the day/ year. Noise is not really monitored/ policed, and highschool students tend to be disruptive when arriving after school - perhaps keeps this in mind when planning your visit.

love this library! staff are so friendly, great selection of books - app is easy to use & amenities are great.

Today was a perfect visit to the Library. A pleasant happy courteous staff member with help and beyond, knowledge to carry me through with a perfect book to enjoy.

Well maintained library with indoor greenery. There are a variety of spaces from cubicle-style nooks, soft cushioned seats with tables, stools and a quiet study space on the top floor. The number of quiet spaces is limited so it is best to get in early on weekends.

Brilliant library with a great team and fantastic setup for spending the day getting things done! Went there yesterday and staff were extremely helpful in setting me up as an International Visitor with a temporary pass. Shout out to Zoe for really making it a streamlined process!
