Cultivating knowledge and community: East Arnhem Regional Council libraries
East Arnhem Regional Council provides library services in five East Arnhem communities and in the mining town of Nhulunbuy. These libraries are run by EARC in partnership with Library and Archives NT.
The libraries offer lending services of books, magazines, multimedia and other resources that foster learning, research, collaboration and intellectual exploration. The provision of free internet access in the buildings keeps our remote communities in-touch and fully connected to the wider world.
Over the years, these libraries have evolved to become safe-spaces and hubs for community engagement, events and workshops that residents, visitors and stakeholders benefit from on a regular basis. with the provision of free internet access, fun activities for children, and information about the local history.
The Angurugu, Galiwin’ku, Milingimbi, Ramingining and Umbakumba libraries are all run by dedicated local Indigenous Community Library Officers and are operational from 9AM till 12PM and 1PM till 4PM, Monday to Friday.
The Nhulunbuy Library is a special collaboration between East Arnhem Regional Council and the Nhulunbuy High School. It houses a significant collection dedicated to the local history of East Arnhem Land. The Nhulunbuy Library extends its services to residents and stakeholders from Yirrkala and Gunyangara, while also serving as a central location for supporting and training Community Library Officers. The library is open from 10AM till 4PM, Tuesday to Friday and from 10AM till 1PM on Saturdays.
