Tuggerah Library and Information Centre provides a library facility as well as conducting a wide range of Council business. Ratepayers can pay their rates, lodge building or development applications, gain a dog licence or make general Council enquiries at this busy centre.

Tuggerah library and Information Centre also boasts a collection known as 'local studies', which is made up of books, magazines, local newsletters and pamphlets on the local area plus local newspapers - some bound and others on microfiche and microfilm.

The Family History Collection is also housed at Tuggerah. It consists of books, magazines, fiche, film and CDROM. If you are tracing your family tree this is a good place to begin. The local Wyong Family History Group helps individuals with their research on the second Saturday of the month at the Tuggerah library.

It is a good idea to join a group like this as many of the members have been doing their family history research for many years and have become experts. To find out more about this service ring the Tuggerah Branch on (02) 4353 5666.

The library also conducts Genealogy On The Net at the Tuggerah branch each month. A staff member helps a small group surf their way through the internet with ease. Participants are shown how to find reputable sites for family research and how to search those sites successfully. For more information phone Tuggerah Library on (02) 4353 5271.
