The Northern Beaches community are invited to sit back and relax with a good book in Manly library as part of the latest 24/7 library trial running from June - November.

This trial follows on from the success of the Forestville 24/7 Library and encourages library members aged 16 years and over to enjoy the freedom of exploring the library's vast collection, including eBooks, audiobooks, and magazines.

24/7 Library members can also take advantage of free WiFi, public computers, printing and scanning facilities, cosy study spaces, and relaxed reading areas furnished with comfy lounges perfect for diving into your favorite story.

Mayor Sue Heins commented on the initiative, saying, "The Manly Library 24/7 Community Trial is a fantastic opportunity for our community to access library services at their convenience. We have seen great success with Forestville Library 24/7, and we are confident that Manly Library will provide similar benefits to the community."

"Over the past year, Manly Library has undergone significant upgrades to ensure the safety and comfort of members during unstaffed hours and we look forward to welcoming the community at any hour that suits their lifestyle, day or night.

“Let’s turn the page together and make Manly Library 24/7 a cornerstone of community connection and lifelong learning. Don’t miss out—become a part of this exciting chapter in library history,” Mayor Heins said.
