WEA Library

Holding more than 13,000 items, the WEA Library caters for the needs of all our students, over the range of WEA courses and beyond. Visit our library website to browse our extensive collection of books and magazines, and to also view our booklist collections on current and previous term courses as well.

The WEA Library is currently closed until further notice due to the Coronavirus situation. If you currently have something borrowed from the library, please hold onto it until the library reopens and treat it as an extended loan. We will notify students when this occurs so you can return or renew it when we contact you. For more information, please visit our Coronavirus Updates page.

How do I join?

If you are a current WEA Sydney student or member, you can join the WEA Library by visiting us and speaking to one of the librarians. Membership to the WEA Library is free. Your library membership also gives you access to the SMSA Library located at 280 Pitt Street.
