Kyogle Library
Kyogle library is a branch of the Richmond-Upper Clarence Regional Library. The regional library branches are community spaces where everyone can share the excitement of discovery. Whether you’re a resident or visitor, you can read for pleasure, study, meet new people, get online, learn a new skill or share your interests with others.
Library collections include popular and literary fiction, non-fiction, magazines, newspapers, large print, audiobooks, DVDs, CDs, local history and legal information. Members can also borrow items such as jigsaws, magazines and cake tins. Members can borrow and return items at any of our branches in Casino, Coraki, Evans Head and Kyogle, or the Mobile Library. There are also thousands of items in our eLibrary, available to you from the comfort of home or anywhere you have internet access. And best of all, membership is free!
The regional library is financed by Kyogle Council and Richmond Valley Council, together with State Government subsidies. The region covers an area of 9824 square kilometres, and we have a bookstock of more than 57,000 items.
