Changes to Library access and book drop

Construction of the new Civic Centre building will soon commence. The current Civic Centre carpark and nearby entrance will be closed from Monday 28 April and remain closed while works take place. The City Library will remain open and will be accessible from the Civic Centre Customer Services’ entry near Civic Park. 

Please note that the City Library returns chute will be temporarily unavailable. A new Book Drop will be installed at the Cavenagh St side of the Civic Centre soon. 

We kindly ask all customers to:

  • return items inside the Library during opening hours, or
  • use one of the 24/7 return chutes located at Casuarina, Nightcliff or Karama libraries.

For more information about the project, please go here.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Who was Robyn Lesley?

Robyn's life and career exemplify a deep commitment to community service and development. Moving from New South Wales to Darwin in 1972, she became a central figure in the city's growth and diversification.

As an Alderman for the City of Darwin council, Robyn was dedicated to issues such as town planning, diversity, and multiculturalism, advocating for inclusive and sustainable community development. Her passion for the Arts and community wellbeing further shaped her approach to governance and volunteer work. Her contributions were widely recognized, with life memberships in organizations like the RSPCA, Life Education Centres, and Darwin Family Centres, acknowledging her tireless efforts.

In 2010, she took on the role of Executive Director for the Council of the Ageing NT (COTA-NT), continuing her legacy of service, particularly in advocating for the rights and needs of older Australians in the Northern Territory.
