Library
The Hunters Hill community library is known as The Yarn. We have partnered with Lane Cove Library to deliver library services to our community via our shopfront service operating out of 64 Gladesville Road, Hunters Hill (in the arcade next to Hunters Hill Hotel).
The Yarn members have physical access to the Shorelink libraries, which includes all libraries in Lane Cove, Mosman and North Sydney.
Shorelink Libraries link the Lower North Shore Council Libraries of Lane Cove , Mosman and North Sydney. A Shorelink Library card entitles members to borrow from all Shorelink Libraries. The online catalogue offers a choice of local or network wide information. The libraries also provide access to a range of online databases and eResources.
The Yarn is open to the public between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Friday.
The Catalogue
There is a limited range of books that are held on location at the Yarn at any one time. However, you will be able to browse the online catalogue of Lane Cove Library, through which you can arrange a click and collect, where the books will be delivered to the Yarn for you.
Book Lovers
Discover the Library’s newest reading materials or connect with other readers on the BookChat blog. Book Club members can find kits to borrow for their next meeting.
Databases and eResources
Your Library membership gives you access to a vast range of digital resources including research databases, eBooks, eAudiobooks and eMagazines.
News and Events
Stay up-to-date with adult and junior library events such as author talks, movie screenings, book launches, digital education, story time and much more.

Returning Books
We make it as easy as possible for you to return your books!
You have two options for returning books. If the library is open, you can return the books directly to the Yarn staff, or you can drop the book into the returns box (located on the kitchen countertop). If the library is closed, or you are in a rush, you can drop them into the Yarn returns shute, which is located out on the street, near the entrance to the arcade and adjacent to the bus stop.
What’s on?
