OPC Library is a small law library, staffed by a librarian. The strengths of the collection are legislation, constitutional law, legislative drafting, statutory interpretation, plain language, and the form and style of written communication.

The Library houses complete collections of Bound Commonwealth Bills and Explanatory Memoranda, Commonwealth Acts and Statutory Rules.

OPC also has a number of electronic research tools, which are gradually, but not completely, replacing paper copy.

The Library's management system is Athena.
