The Northern Territory Library is the Northern Territory's major reference and research Library, responsible for collecting, preserving and providing access to the Territory’s documentary heritage and connecting people to the world of information. The library is located in Parliament House in the State Square complex, in Darwin's CBD. The library holds over 108,000 books and 30,000 items.
History
The library was formally known as the 'State Reference Library' when it opened in 1980. In 1985, the Library was transferred from the Department of Community Development to the Department of Education. The Library became the provider of library services to the Office of Local Government. In 1992 the Office was absorbed into the new Department of Lands, Housing and Local Government. Following the relocation to the new Parliament House in 1995, the combined Library service was officially opened on May 22 by the minister responsible for libraries, Hon Steve Hatton MLA. It was re-named 'Reference and Parliamentary Library Services'. After the restructure of Northern Territory Library in 1997, the joint-use service in Parliament House was renamed Northern Territory Library.
