City of Stirling Libraries strives to be responsive to community needs and interests. In recent years, the notion of a sharing economy has inspired public libraries to develop non-traditional collections of items for community access. A public Library of Things (LoT) provides access to these items - or “Things”.

Things are considered and acquired in a variety of areas:

  • Art and craft

  • Kitchen and baking supplies

  • Technology

  • Health and wellbeing

  • Musical instruments

  • Toys and games

  • Home improvement

  • Outdoor recreation

  • Home and garden.

Browse the catalogue of "things" or in your library app.

  • Do you need local history information for your school assignment, or wondering how your local street was named or what is the history of your suburb? The City of Stirling’s Community History Collection comprises oral histories, books, booklets and ephemera, and may be able to assist with your query
  • The Stirling Photograph Collection gives a fascinating insight into the development of the City of Stirling, and how early families lived. A selection of these photographs has been digitised and is available online. Digital copies are available for purchase
  • The Mount Flora Regional Museum offers educational programs for school excursions to the museum. The program can be designed to support your current classroom focus.
