Frontyard library was founded on the decommissioned Australia Council Research Library and is now a growing collection of material related to, and generated by, the Australian arts community.
 
BOOKS ARE FOR USE.
EVERY READER [THEIR] BOOK.
EVERY BOOK ITS READER.
SAVE THE TIME OF THE USER.
THE LIBRARY IS A GROWING ORGANISM.
(S. R. Ranganathan, 1931)
 
The Australia Council’s library was decommissioned in November 2014 due to very low usage levels over a sustained period. While the collection was small the Council has endeavoured to have key materials remain publicly available through donations to other libraries. Items that were unique to the Australia Council collection have been offered to the National Library of Australia in Canberra.
