Supporting Libraries & Schools Across Australia Since 1976
WA Library Supplies is a proud, family-owned Australian business dedicated to providing high-quality products and services to libraries and educational institutions for nearly five decades.
“What is more important in a library than anything else—than everything else—is the fact that it exists.”
-Archibald MacLeish
Our Journey
Founded in East Perth in 1976, WA Library Supplies has grown alongside the evolving needs of Australian libraries.
From our early days serving schools and public libraries across Western Australia, we’ve expanded thoughtfully over the decades—moving from East Perth to Osborne Park and, in 2019, into our modern facility at 39b Alex Wood Dr, Forrestdale, WA. Today, our showroom, warehouse, and offices operate under one roof, enabling timely service and consistent quality.
Family-owned and proudly local, our team of eight blends full-time, part-time, and casual roles. This close-knit structure means everyone understands the whole business and, most importantly, the needs of our customers. We believe strong relationships and genuine care lead to better outcomes—whether you’re refreshing a reading nook or outfitting an entire library.
“The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.”
-Albert Einstein

Our Promise – Our Commitment
We are committed to a future where libraries remain at the heart of their communities—welcoming, equitable, and ever-evolving.
Libraries are changing, and so are we. We research, listen, and work alongside our customers to deliver practical products and solutions that meet the needs of today’s spaces and tomorrow’s programs.
Along with beautiful and flexible library furniture we are committed to providing libraries with their everyday needs. From spine labels, barcodes, and label protectors to book covering, repair tapes, and adhesive pockets, we stock the practical processing supplies that keep collections moving. We also supply shelf labels and dividers, signage kits, cataloguing accessories, and the tools that make desk work easier—trimmers, cutters, staplers, and more.
While the landscape becomes more digital, the love of books and reading—and the role of libraries as community hubs—remains essential. Our goal is to help you keep your spaces fresh, modern, and relevant with durable furniture, thoughtful layouts, and reliable supplies, so everyone can continue to enjoy their library.
“The very existence of libraries affords the best evidence that we may yet have hope for the future of man.”
-T.S. Elliot
