Experience a calm and welcoming atmosphere designed for those who appreciate quiet time. This event is perfect for anyone seeking a peaceful environment to read, study, or relax without distractions.
During Quiet Hour, the library encourages visitors to keep voices low, take phone calls outside, and use headphones for all devices. Noisy activities are discouraged to maintain a respectful and inclusive space for everyone.
The library staff will also contribute by turning down phone and PC notifications, reducing movement, and gently reminding patrons to keep conversations quiet.
Quiet Hours are scheduled at multiple City of Swan libraries throughout the week:
- Ballajura Library: Tuesdays 10:00-11:00 and Fridays 16:00-17:00
- Beechboro Library: Mondays 15:00-16:00 and Wednesdays 12:00-13:00

This event is free and suitable for all ages, making it a great opportunity for families to enjoy a quiet moment together or for individuals to focus on their reading or work.
The Quiet Hours take place at various City of Swan library locations including Ballajura, Beechboro, Bullsbrook, Guildford, Midland, and Ellenbrook libraries. Each location offers a safe and comfortable environment accessible to all community members.
These libraries are easily reachable by public transport and have facilities to accommodate visitors with different needs. Check the City of Swan website or contact your preferred library for specific access details.
Please respect the quiet environment by keeping noise to a minimum and following the library guidelines during Quiet Hours. Phone calls should be taken outside the library, and headphones must be used for any audio devices.
The library staff will monitor the environment to ensure a calm atmosphere and may ask patrons to comply with the quiet rules to maintain inclusivity.
This initiative supports mental wellbeing and provides a sanctuary for those who need a break from the usual hustle and bustle.
No booking is required for Quiet Hours. This event is free of charge and open to all members of the community. Simply visit your chosen library during the scheduled times to participate.
