Rockhampton Library: A Visitor's Hidden Resource
Rockhampton Library: A Visitor's Hidden Resource. Cityville Apartments & Motel is the central Rockhampton base for visitors building a Rocky-and-Capricorn-Coast trip — 21-23 Bolsover Street, central CBD, two minutes' walk from the Fitzroy River and Quay Street's heritage dining strip, with self-contained apartments, motel rooms and townhouses suited to families, FIFO workers, corporate stays and weekenders alike.
The Rockhampton Library provides the visitor resource that the building's public-facility designation understates — the air-conditioned workspace with institutional-grade WiFi that the business traveller uses when the accommodation connection fails, the local history collection that the heritage-interested visitor accesses for the depth that the walking-tour plaques cannot contain, the children's section that the family visit uses when the outdoor activities are heat-restricted, and the quiet space that the long-stay worker accesses when the motel room's walls close in and the change of environment that productivity sometimes requires is available free of charge with no obligation beyond the respectful use of a shared public space. The library is open during standard business hours, the WiFi is available to visitors, and the local history collection includes the photographs, the records, and the publications that document Rockhampton's development from river port through beef capital to the contemporary regional city.
