Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lots to do at this exciting place in the heart of Albury. The Crossing Place Museum has enough there to fill in an hour or more and learn something about our indigenous culture as well as some great info on Bonegilla and the first wave of migrants to come to the area. Then the library itself has papers to read and a huge range of magazines to browse. The internet is free as well and the staff are really helpful if you have any questions. The Retro Cafe is just down the hallway if you need a coffee and a snack or a light meal.

Having been attending the ALM for a number of years.Today I required some extra help from staff. On how to use the scanner etc. Two female staff showed me in a very simple way I could remember for next time. Also at the library people can use computers for up to 2 hrs with a library card. The ALM is very big complex with 12 PCs Free Wifi Quiet rooms available for people. Closed to CBD and coffee shops. Very clean and user friendly. I feel welcome all the time.Highly recommended for visitors and locals.

I cannot explain just how mind numbingly boring this place is,
About 10 years ago while showing an interstate family member around and we visited the "Museum" Well I had the recent misfortune of taking them back.
It was particularly embarrassing for them to point out the same exhibitions that had been there 10 years before.
Dont waste your time, find someone painting a wall and watch that dry, far more interesting

A very well presented and informative display which provides an interest overview of the history of some of Albury's institutions, streets and particularly very well known sporting locals, known in Australia and in some cases World wide.

Albury Library Museum is a double whamy because it combines both the library and museum in town. Cleverley designed by Ashton Raggatt McDougall it was opened only 12 years ago in 2007. Int he first year it had 226,000 visitors, and of that 80,000 entered the exhibition space.
Some people think libraries will become dinosaurs. Not me. This library has 50,000 books, magazines and electronic media items,
I found the staff absolutely wonderful and extremely helpful in both the library and museum part.
Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Good parking. Bring your own food and refreshments.

Pity there is no parking on-site or underground but if you drive around the block a couple of times, you'll find a spot. The museum is very interesting & absolutely worth a poke around. Hope you do it.

Nice place to wander around and learn about the local history. Parking is free, but not much right at the location. You may have to park a block or 2 away. New modern facility and very comfortable inside. Free to go into the museum is a plus.

A library with a large area set aside for interesting exhibitions. Worth a visit if visiting Albury. And great for a rainy day.

You could go just for the building, with its external appearance inspired by the criss-cross iron work of the railway bridge over the Murray River.
The museum has a good little permanent collection on local history, both pre- and post-colonisation. The section of the museum with changing displays is always interesting, too.
It's always worth a visit. You might get a community event (such as Write Around The Murray.) Read the paper or a magazine. Extra bonus - free wi-fi.
