Musical instruments collection

Learn to play

If you're new to music or have been playing instruments all your life, we've got equipment for members to borrow.

For use at the library

Our Green Square Library has a new collection of acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and amplifiers for library members.

This collection is available for use when hiring the music room.

Book online for the music room or ask our library team.

When you book a music room, you can select the instruments and equipment you want to use in the space.

Hire fees apply to use the music room only. Use of all instruments and equipment is included in the hire cost.

Ukuleles available to borrow

Our collection of ukuleles is available to borrow and take home from both Kings Cross and Green Square libraries.

Library members can borrow 1 ukulele for up to 3 weeks at a time.

Ukuleles can be reserved using the online catalogue, however they need to be collected directly from the library team. The instruments need to be returned to a team member at the branch from which they were borrowed.

Fees apply for lost or damaged items.

Alternatively, members can replace the lost or damaged item or part with the exact item or model number in new condition.
