Alice Springs Public Library, Public library in Alice Springs, Australia.

Alice Springs Public Library is a public library in Alice Springs offering books, audiovisual materials, and digital resources for the community. The building houses collections across multiple formats to serve different borrowing preferences.

Small libraries had served Alice Springs since its early days, and in 1938 the Northern Territory Government took over the Country Women's Association's library, which held 760 books by 1940. After World War II the National Library of Australia funded the town's first public library, opened on 13 October 1953 with librarian Joy Cuskey and 3,000 books brought from Darwin by fire truck. It moved to a cottage on Hartley Street in 1958 and to its present building on 19 October 1980, when it was officially named the Nevil Shute Memorial Library.

The library's Alice Springs Collection holds a reference archive on the history, science and culture of Central Australia, including the Centralian Advocate from 1947 to 2015 in PDF and over 6,000 images from 29 smaller collections. In 2019 Braydon Kanjira, a traditional owner from Ntaria, assessed the images and marked them green, orange or red for access.

The library sits at the corner of Leichhardt and Gregory Terraces in central Alice Springs, reachable on foot. The Alice Springs Collection is a reference-only collection: items cannot be borrowed but can be viewed during regular opening hours. The 6,000-plus images are accessible on intranet computers inside the collection room.

The Alice Springs Collection began in the mid-1970s as a locked room visitors had to ask to enter; a 1995 extension added a reading room. It holds Centralian Advocate issues from 1947 to 2015 as PDFs and over 6,000 images, mostly from the Central Australian Historical Images Collection, assembled by historian Geoff Purdie and Barry Allwright.
