The City of Marion has three library branches which are safe environments for people from all walks of life. Our libraries have free WiFi , there is no cost to visit, and we have materials, computers and information available. Everyone is welcome to come and read a book, use a computer, or just stay a while in a safe and friendly space.
Becoming a library member allows you to borrow books, DVDs and other items. Children under 18 are required to have a parent or guardian with them to become a member however we have special arrangements for independent youths and children under the care of the Minister. For adults wishing to become a member, photo ID with their current address on it is required.
Please note that children under the age of 10 must be supervised by their parent or guardian when they are in the library.
