01Customs House Library

Yeah another vote for this. There's a variety of different rooms, the WiFi is pretty good.

library313 Marrickville RoadWi‑FiWork 100
I second this. Free wifi, powerpoints, plenty of desk space and relatively quiet (yes it's a library but the cafe part isn't as quiet)
r/sydneyJuly 2025 03Darling Square Library
library1 Little Pier StreetWi‑FiWork 100
I sometimes like to work in Darling Harbour library. It's pretty quiet, but does have a nice feel to the place, it houses a lot of students but sometimes mothers/kids groups and does community sessions.
