an independent library, arts centre, and meeting place for the community.

the library’s collection of over 10,000 borrowable books asks questions about who and why we are.

library portal is also a salon for thought-exchange, a place to experience art and music, to learn, and to make friends.

we are entirely volunteer-run, motivated by community connection and not by profit.

we are setting up our new northcote location and will reopen to the public very soon.
