North Sydney Council considers charging tutors for library use amid concerns over access and costs.
North Sydney Council is exploring fees for tutors using public libraries, citing high demand and limited space in a school-dense area.
Currently, tutors—often university students—use study areas without charge, and officials report no major disruptions.
However, concerns are rising that fees could increase costs for families already burdened by expensive tutoring.
Supporters argue fees could regulate the unmonitored tutoring sector, while critics say they may limit access to educational support, especially for lower-income families.
The council plans community consultation during its next budget process before deciding.
