About City libraries
The City of Joondalup Libraries are one of the largest and busiest public library services in Western Australia with a range of items available to borrow, events to attend and facilities to enjoy. Our libraries aim to provide a safe and welcoming space and we ask that all visitors conduct themselves in a way that is respectful of place, property and people.
The City has four libraries – Duncraig, Joondalup, Whitford and Woodvale – including a specialist reference and local history collection within the Joondalup Library.
