It all began here! The journey towards the Ku-ring-gai Library service you know and love started when Ku-ring-gai Council adopted the Library Act (1939) in 1944.
It didn't take long for this seed to grow… enjoy these pics from our 80 Years in 80 Tales collection. Visit Ku-ring-gai Library Facebook to see the full tale behind the pics.
