Hamra Centre Library is part of the West Torrens Library Service which provides the community with a range of events, activities, projects and services. The West Torrens Library Service is operated by the City of West Torrens and consists of a main branch (located at the Hamra Centre) and the Mobile Library Service. The West Torrens Library Service provides a variety of outreach programs and commu

nity services. As of October 3, 2013 our service joined the.South Australian Public Libraries' 'One Card' network. This network has been gradually introduced across South Australia in order to connect all Public Library catalogues together. This means you are able to search and borrow items from other participating libraries as well as items already available at West Torrens. Items include:
Books, e-books, magazines, e-magazines, DVDs, CDs, audio books, graphic novels, large print materials, community language items, independent living equipment, toys, board games, sporting equipment and much more! Ongoing Programs:
Baby Time, Toddler Time, Story Time, school holiday programs, book clubs, basic IT training, knitting group, movie nights, English classes, Justice of the Peace service and more. Facebook house rules
