Newtown library is a little gem, hidden away in a historic building on Brown street near the 7 – 11, it has a larger selection than you would expect. It’s conveniently located as I work just around the corner at R&W Newtown Real Estate, so I often pop in to check out an investment or architecture book. There’s a fair bit of fiction, a relatively small amount on investment and business (compared to some larger libraries such as Chatswood, Hurstville, etc), a surprisingly large amount on architecture and DIY homecare, and unsurprisingly (for Newtown) a lot of spirituality, philosophy, arts etc.
There is also a seperate large looking ‘Women’s Library’ which I haven’t ventured into yet but which has different community events regularly.

Newtown library is one of the better local public libraries I’ve been to before. Unlike most libraries that have an outdated collection of books and a small, usually conservative range of topics to choose from, Newtown has a good sized collection of books on a wider range of contemporary issues and topics than most public libraries. I like going there to browse the books on music, spirituality and graphic novels as well as to hire DVDs. You can also hire a computer to use the net here too, which is handy and means you can save on all those dollars spent at the internet café.
