The Home Hill Branch Library is open for its usual operating hours from Thursday 21 May. In this first phase of re-opening only 10 customers are allowed in the space and bookings on the PC have been reduced to 30 minutes. Please limit your time in the library to allow as many people as possible to use the service and follow social distancing principles.

Justices of the Peace Branch (JP Branch) has made the decision to temporarily close the JPs in the Community program across Queensland from Saturday, 21 March 2020 to ensure the safety and health of the JP volunteers. There is an online search for witnessing officers through this link - After-hours JP Search.
The Queensland government’s “JPs in the Community” program was started to give the public consistent and easy access to witnessing services throughout Queensland. A number of local Justices of the Peace have volunteered to help the community by witnessing documents at the Burdekin Library in Ayr. These generous volunteers normally offer their services between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM on Tuesdays.
