Do you have pre-loved books you no longer want?

The Library does not accept pre-loved books of any kind, unless they are his­tor­i­cal books sig­nif­i­cant to Cen­tral Australia. 

The BEST place to dis­pose of all your no-longer want­ed books, DVDs, CDs etc. is Coun­cil’s Redis­cov­ery Cen­tre on Com­mon­age Road (at the Region­al Waste Mgmt. Facil­i­ty) or any sec­ond hand shop in Alice Springs.

Vol­un­teer­ing at the Library

“If our hopes of build­ing a bet­ter and safer world are to become more than wish­ful think­ing, we will need the engage­ment of vol­un­teers more than ever.” — Kofi Annan

The Library hosts a range of pro­grams and ser­vices that relies on the gen­eros­i­ty of volunteers:

  • Read. Write. Chat. (Adult Literacy)
  • Library Linkup (Social support)
  • Con­ver­sa­tion­al Eng­lish (ESL conversation)
  • Gen­er­al Assistance

If you would like to be involved in our vol­un­teer pro­gram, please com­plete the Vol­un­teer Reg­is­tra­tion Form and we’ll be in con­tact when a role opens up for you. 

Alter­na­tive­ly, you can con­tact the library between 10am-6pm Mon­day to Fri­day on 8950 0555 or library@​astc.​nt.​gov.​au and we will answer any ques­tions you might have.
