Kingston Library

Bruny Online will be closed for refurbishment from Thursday 19 May until Monday 13 June. While the centre is closed online help will be available at the Adventure Bay General Store for printing, scanning and document emailing. Staff at Council Rooms at Alonnah will also be available to help with printing. Although Bruny Online will be closed, the Wi-Fi will remain on, so people can still access the internet on their devices as the Wi-Fi coverage extends beyond the building into the grounds.
