A new chapter for Singleton Public Library

Published on 20 August 2026

Singleton Public Library is getting a refresh, with $189,125 in NSW Government funding helping us create a more modern, accessible and flexible space for our community.

Thanks to the Public Library Infrastructure Grants program, the Library’s existing 8.3 metre front counter will be replaced with two new purpose-built customer service counters – one dedicated to returns and the other for loans, enquiries and assistance from Library staff.

We’re redesigning the front counter service to be more accessible, functional and welcoming for everyone.

The upgrades will include:

• Two new purpose-built customer service counters for returns, loans and enquiries
• Moveable shelving to create flexible spaces for programs, events and our collection
• Larger, more comfortable computer stations
• A height-adjustable self-check machine for greater accessibility

The project builds on the Library’s recent furniture renewal and is another step towards creating an inclusive, functional space that can continue to evolve with our community.

To get the transformation underway, Singleton Public Library and the adjoining carpark will be closed on Monday 12 October.

Contractors will remove the existing counter, complete floor and wall repairs, install the two new counter and begin shelving works.

The good news? The Library will reopen from Tuesday 13 October, with shelving works continuing safely over the following three to four days.

The full project is expected to be completed by the end of October, with minimal disruption to Library services.
