Toilets, Changing Places, and Parents’ Rooms

Toilets, including accessible toilets, are available inside the libraries at Ryde, West Ryde, Eastwood and Gladesville. At North Ryde, toilets, including accessible toilets, can be found across the road.

All branches have an infant changing place inside the library. North Ryde and West Ryde Libraries have parents’ rooms inside the library.

Our libraries deliver spaces, experiences and opportunities that enhance the social, cultural, recreational and lifelong learning needs of our wider community.
