Library & Archives NT has three venues located in Darwin and Alice Springs. It is the Northern Territory's premier public research library and archival organisation, and supports the development of library services across the Territory.

From Tuesday 23 May to Monday 12 June 2023, Level 1 of the Northern Territory Library (the ‘downstairs’ area) will be closed as we review and move some of our general collection (non NT related) books into storage. During the period of the move some items on Level 1 may not be available.

This is one of the first steps taken in the relocation of the Northern Territory Library to the Charles Darwin Education and Community Precinct, scheduled to open mid-2024.

Read more about the move and the Education and Community Precinct development.
