Computers, internet, email and OH&S

Fairbrook library has 2 new computer stations available to all members. You can book time to use the computers at the service desk or call the library (9573 1111) to book in advance.

Because we care about our community Fairbrook library would like to remind all patrons about using any library equipment safely. The computer stations are adjustable so you can optimize them to your requirements.

 If in doubt ask the staff, they will help you adjust the work station to prevent strain or injury.

The History of Fairbrook library

Fairbrook library was founded very recently by the people of Fairbrook, a tiny picturesque regional town in the Eastern Hills of Western Australia. In an effort to provide our community with services that we once had to travel so far to get the town rallied together in fundraising and project planning to achieve something we can all be very proud of.

A library of our very own! 

Fairbrook regional library 2013

The library opened its doors in September 2013 to provide quality services to Fairbrook and neighboring towns regardless of shire boundaries. Existing services will be expanded in the coming years and we hope the library will truly become a community hub for all the enjoy.
