From 31 August, you’ll be able to visit the brand new Hervey Bay Library and Council Customer Service Centre at their new home inside the Hervey Bay Community Hub at 23 Main Street, Pialba.

To prepare for the move:
⭐ The current Hervey Bay Library at Old Maryborough Road will close from 4pm on Saturday 1 August while the collection is relocated and the new library is prepared for opening. This will mean a closure of 4 weeks.

⭐ Hervey Bay Library programs and limited public computer access will be available at the Hervey Bay Regional Gallery during the closure period.
⭐ Borrowing and returns will not be available at Hervey Bay Library during the closure period. Other Fraser Coast Libraries will remain open, with extended loan periods planned for Hervey Bay customers.

We know many people have been eagerly awaiting this moment and cannot wait to welcome you through the doors from 31 August! 🤩
