The Library at the Gallery focuses on the history of art and design along with numerous publications on arts education and the methods and materials of artistic production. The range of the collections begins with prehistory and extends to contemporary art. Presently, the collections are strongest in the history of western European art and culture in Europe and North America; however, in recent years, they have expanded to include other areas, such as Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

The library's new space, at the entrance of the Gallery, holds hundreds of books and DVDs available for borrowing as a lending library to members of the Gallery and is open to all visitors and residents as a reference library.

Since the Gallery and its library is near to the school district, students may apply for honorary student membership in order to utilise this service. This is a comprehensive educational resource and we encourage anyone who wishes to further their education in the field to utilise this facility.

The library is available for in-house use during the hours of operation from 9:00am - 5:00pm daily and 11:00am - 2:00pm on Saturday's (closed Sunday's and public holidays).
