A valuable resource for the community of Toowoomba and surrounding areas is the City Library’s impressive local history collection, located at 476 Ruthven Street.
A key element is the Robinson Collection, named in memory of Queensland’s first female mayor and Mayor of Toowoomba from 1967 to 1981, Nellie E. Robinson. Many rare and valuable items were purchased from her generous bequest to the library.
