State Library of Queensland

The State Library of Queensland occupies a modern building along the Brisbane River, featuring extensive reading spaces and research facilities across multiple levels.

Established in 1896 as the Brisbane Public Library, the institution moved to its current South Bank location in 2006 after extensive architectural renovations.

The library maintains Indigenous Knowledge Centres throughout Queensland, supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with specialized collections and programs.

Visitors can access free WiFi, research assistance, digital resources, and study spaces seven days a week through a complimentary membership system.

The library houses the John Oxley collection, containing original manuscripts, photographs, and maps documenting Queensland's development since colonial settlement.
