Library services

The Northern Territory Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade operates two libraries, at Berrimah Farm in Darwin and at the Arid Zone Research Institute in Alice Springs.

Opening hours: 8:15am to 4.20pm Monday to Friday. Closed public holidays.

Library access

Library services are provided primarily for the staff of the department and its industry clients. See contact information below.

The two libraries take inter-library loan requests from other libraries.

Most library material is available for loan through the inter-library loan system. The public must place requests via their own local libraries. Industry clients in Darwin and Alice Springs may register to borrow material directly from the department’s libraries.
