New library kiosk

To support families visiting the new Maternity, Child and Family Health Service, our libraries staff have installed a self-service library kiosk at the Vaucluse Bowling Club and Community Facility, stocked with kids' books, fiction and non-fiction titles.

All you need to use is your Woollahra Libraries membership card - items taken out of the kiosk are automatically checked out on your account and can be returned at the kiosk or any other library location.

The kiosk is accessible on weekdays from 10am-4pm or anytime the building is open for a group activity or event. Visit Vaucluse Bowling Club for more info.

Our Libraries Courier Ray, restocking the kiosk with new selections

Recycle It Saturday

Are you looking to do a post-Christmas clean-out? We’re here to help! Our Recycle It Saturday event on 22 February at our Alexandria Depot is perfect for recycling the stuff you normally can’t put in your yellow bin, including clothes, toys, polystyrene, bicycles, tools, e-waste and more.

Head to Recycle It Saturday to learn more about what you can and can’t bring on the day.

Have your say on new EV provisions

To encourage electric vehicle use in our area, we are proposing to update local planning controls to support fast charging infrastructure and reflect increased knowledge and new technology in the EV sector.

Share your feedback on the proposal by 2 March at Your Say Woollahra.

Artist in Residence applications

Applications to be an artist in residence at the Woollahra Gallery at Redleaf are now open.

The Artist in Residence Program is an amazing opportunity for artists to develop new work in a breathtaking harbourside cultural space.

The Program offers applicants the use of studio space over a four-month period between July 2025 and June 2026. Applications close on 20 March. Visit Woollahra Gallery for further details.
