The Library was repurposed from a supermarket in 2010 with award-winning design by Dunn & Hillam Architects http://dunnhillam.com.au/junee-library. One of the comments on their site includes:

“I have to admit the Junee Library is one of the best I’ve ever seen. The design is simply stunning, from the exposed beams on the gabled roof to the Murrumbidgee rocks that feature in the flooring. Perhaps the cleverest aspect of the design is the environmental engine room, which not only reduce the council’s carbon footprint but also saves the council 75% on its energy bills.”

The Junee Library is a branch of the Riverina Regional Library Service. Other branches include Adelong, Ariah Park, Batlow, Cootamundra, Culcairn, Gundagai, Henty, Talbingo, Temora, Tumut and Wagga Wagga. A mobile library serves many district towns including Ardlethan, Coolamon, Lockhart, Uranquinty, Cookardinia and Tarcutta.

Copies of most recent annual reports are available on the RRL website.

Junee residents who have been confined to their homes and are unable through illness, frailty, or physical disability to independently visit the library. 

No. The Homebound Service is free for those who qualify. 

Registration for the Homebound Library Service may be made over the telephone if already a member. Non-members of the library will need to make arrangements with the library staff to join.

To help Library Staff choose the most appropriate material a reader profile with your preferences will be compiled. Deliveries are made by a member of the library team at a mutually acceptable time. 

A Homebound library member may borrow up to 20 items at a time, for up to 2 months. Loan extensions may be arranged if a reservation has not been placed on the material. Unavailable items can be reserved or borrowed from other libraries through the inter-library loans system. Replacement costs may be incurred for any materials not returned to the library. 

The Homebound Library Service will deliver regular and large print books, magazines, talking books, videocassettes, DVDs and CDs. Please contact your library if you would like to request specific items or information.
