Our libraries
We operate six libraries in the Far North. Each one is a destination in its own right - not just for their great collections but for the buildings that house them. We also have a popular mobile library, which travels around the Far North. We support several community libraries with regular book exchanges too.
Check out each library's details in the sections below. Or you can go straight to our online catalogue here.
