The City Library is Cairns Libraries largest and busiest branch. It is located in the Cairns Central Business District on a large lot surrounded by parkland dominated by huge fig trees.The building, which is listed on the Queensland Heritage Register, was constructed in 1929 and served as Cairns City Council's Chambers until council moved to new and larger premises in 1998. The City Library is open 7 days a week and is very popular with both residents and visitors. It houses a large reference collection, including a considerable amount of material relating to the history of the Cairns Region. Cairns Libraries genealogical material is also housed here. The library is equipped with public access pcs for both internet access and wordprocessing, and with microfiche/microfilm readers. A Reference Desk is manned each weekday to assist with enquiries from members and visitors.
