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.

City of Darwin works in partnership with other organisations and groups to coordinate and promote resources and events that support seniors living in Darwin. The peak body for seniors in Darwin is the Council of the Ageing Northern Territory (COTA NT) information on services and programs are available at cotant.org.au where you can make connections.

Seniors month

Every August, we celebrate Seniors Month to honour the ongoing contributions older people make to our community. It’s a time to reflect on the wisdom, experience and positive impact that seniors have in shaping our lives and the world around us.

Throughout the month, the City of Darwin offers a range of free community events for NT Seniors Card holders. These events provide an opportunity to connect, have fun and enjoy a variety of activities designed to promote health, well-being and lifelong learning.

Whether you’re looking for social events, educational workshops, or entertainment, there’s something for everyone. Seniors Month is all about fostering inclusion, connection and celebrating the valuable role older people play in our community.

NT Seniors Card holders are invited to join in the free events throughout August. It’s a wonderful chance to get involved, meet new people and enjoy the activities.

For any questions or to learn more about the events and activities available, please contact us at 8930 0409.

Celebrate with us this August as we honour the contributions of seniors in our community!

Libraries

Our libraries offer a range of services and programs for seniors. Come in and read or borrow books, magazines, large print books, spoken word books and more. Looking to get online? We provide free access to the web, and you can hire a computer or smart device while you're at the library.

If you require some assistance in using a computer or smart device (i.e. a smart phone or tablet), we're happy to help. Also on offer are our Book Clubs, Knit 'n' Knatter, and a number of other programs and classes.
