Coomalie Community Government Council – Batchelor Community Library Services

Council currently offers two Community Libraries for its residents and visitors to use.

They are located at Adelaide River Primary School and Batchelor Institute.

Quiet reading corners are available should you wish to avail yourself of the air-conditioned comfort, we also offer internet access, iPad and computer lending, Knit & Knatter and Craft sessions (check with your local library first for details).

Both libraries operate under an agreement between Coomalie Community Government Council and the library owners – Adelaide River School and Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education (BIITE).

The library located at BIITE contains a wonderful collection of indigenous art along with many books on indigenous history and culture.
