Australian National Islamic Library

CIC runs a public library called Australian National Islamic Library from its premises and its collection is available online to browse at its webpage https://library.cic-anil.org.au.You can browse and reserve books online and collect them from the library. Currently due to Covid-19 restrictions and shortage of volunteers to run our library, the opening hours are restricted from 12PM to 2PM on Tuesday and Friday. When the Sunday school is running the library is also open on Sunday during the same hours. You do not have to be a member of CIC to borrow books and our services are also available to public. Everyone has to however register at the library with a photo ID (driving license). Books are issued to a period of 3 weeks and can be reissued on line if there is no one waiting for that book.

The Centre is a focal point for all Muslims in Canberra, providing a place for prayers, Islamic education and to seek Imam guidance. It also serves as a place for the community to meet for cultural events, exhibitions, access reference books, social and religious gatherings and functions.

The Centre represents the Muslim community to the media and local and federal government agencies and plays an important role in the community, and Inshaa’Allah it will continue to do so with the continued support, donations and hard work from it’s members and supporters. The Australian National Islamic Library is a public library housed within the CIC complex, and it provides a large range of books and publications on Islam and other religions.

A dedicated place for prayers separate from the main CIC building was a community need and as such Masjid project was launched in 2011. Initially with the community financial support project was started but later on with the generous financial support from the Government of Kuwait Sabah Al Ahmad Masjid and Islamic Education Centre was completed on 4th May 2018. Below are some photos of the Masjid opening and other events and festivals after the opening of Masjid.
