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.

Darwin is home to one of Australia's most multicultural and diverse communities, with many different indigenous and migrant languages spoken. If English is not your primary or preferred language, there are a number of services that can help you interact with us.

Aboriginal Languages

More than 100 Aboriginal languages and dialects are spoken in the Northern Territory. Some of these languages vary considerably.

The Northern Territory Government provides the Aboriginal Interpreter Service covering the major languages of the Northern Territory.

Other Languages

Council staff are trained to use online tools such as Google Translate to engage with over the counter customers who may feel more comfortable speaking a language other than English. It's as easy as speaking into the microphone and the computer does the rest.

If you require assistance for preparing written documents, visit Interpreting and Translating Service NT.

Auslan

City of Darwin works toward making Darwin a safe, liveable, and healthy city as well as an accessible and inclusive community. Using an Auslan Interpreter at events, announcements, forums is encouraged. Click here to make a booking for an Auslan Interpreter.
