The walk from Wynyard is longer but flatter. This is a good ten-minute, uphill walk. A few meters at the northern end of Kent Street allow a 4-hour stay. Meter parking operates throughout the Sydney city area and is patrolled from 8.00 am - 10 pm seven days per week. The Clock Tower parking station in Harrington Street, The Rocks is the nearest public car parking station.
Higher rates apply on weekdays.
Special needs - if you are blind, deaf or require wheelchair access to use our collections, please telephone in advance and speak to our reception staff, who will explain to you how we can best assist you to make your visit as useful as possible. Both our buildings are heritage listed and our collections are spread over several floors, so wheelchair access is extremely limited. Both buildings are normally open for research on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 10.30 am - 4.00 pm. On the second Tuesday of the month they are also open from 5.30 - 9.00 p.m. There is no access to the buildings at other times and the bookshop is open only during library hours.
