Public library collections

State Library provides physical collections and eresources to support public libraries, Indigenous Knowledge Centres (IKC), and their members throughout Queensland. Library collections, funded through the Public Libraries Grant, foster equitable access to information for all Queenslanders. 

Collections for all Queensland Public Libraries

Known as a 'statewide collection', physical library resources and selected eresources are provided to all Queensland public libraries for the benefit of their members. Access to these resources is via your local library service, with eresources available from your local library’s website or catalogue.
