Our library provides access to many services including home library services, internet access, mobile printing and scanning, help with technology, and access to a Justice of the Peace.

Use the online library catalogue to place a hold on items from our collection and collect them when they’re ready.

How to reserve:

  • Log in to the online catalogue.
  • Search for the item and open the title.
  • Select Reserve and choose your preferred pickup library.
  • We’ll notify you when the item is ready to collect.

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Library members can suggest items for purchase. If your suggestion meets our collection development guidelines, we’ll order it and place it on hold for you.

Older or hard-to-find items:
We may be able to source items from other libraries through an Inter Library Loan. If you’d like us to try this option, note it in your request. A $33.60 fee applies to interstate inter library loans. We’ll contact you before proceeding.

What happens next:

  • We assess your request.
  • If suitable and available, the item is ordered.
  • You’ll be notified when it’s ready to collect.
  • Timeframes vary and can’t be guaranteed. If you need an item urgently, you may wish to purchase your own copy.
