News There are two local weekly newspapers, the Whitsunday Coast Guardian, which comes out on a Wednesday morning and the Whitsunday Times on Thursday morning. Both can be found in the newsagents and most general stores.
Markets Each Saturday morning from about 7am on the foreshore and near the sailing club are the Airlie Beach Markets. Generally, more than 100 stalls are full of fresh local produce and local knick knacks. For something special, treat yourself to a camel ride along the beach and make sure you have a happy shot taken with Double Cones in the background.
Library There is a great Council library in the Centro Shopping Centre complex, just next to the front service station. Temporary membership is available. And also a library in Proserpine, located behind the Entertainment Centre. There is also a great little second hand book store near the lagoon called Leah’s book exchange with literally thousands of books at really good prices and the ability to take them back and exchange for a small cost.
