Benefits for Members

The Women’s Library open to all women but only members can borrow books. If you would like to support the library, or you want to borrow books, please apply for membership by completing the Membership Application Form.


Your membership fee helps us pay our operating costs and gives you access to …

  • a carefully selected collection of feminist literature, books about women, biographies, women’s writing, general and lesbian fiction
  • a comfortable lounge with tea and coffee on tap during opening hours
  • use of the children’s corner so that your offspring can amuse themselves while you browse
  • free use of our WiFi while you are at the library (and you don’t have to buy a coffee)
  • the warm and fuzzy feeling that comes from doing good

Members are invited to our annual end-of year celebration, book talks, and other events throughout the year.

There are three payment options in 2025-2026. Benefits are the same for everyone regardless of the fee paid.

  • $40 per annum (standard)
  • $5 per annum (concession)
  • $80 per annum (sustaining).

Whichever you choose, the membership fee is definitely less than what you would pay for a couple of our books, And as member, you won’t have to buy books at all. The Women’s Library has rare and unusual books in its collection and these are available for members to borrow.

We are on Instagram and have an active Facebook page where you can keep an eye on our events and other matters of interest to members.
