Items can be returned via the afterhours return chutes. These chutes allow you to return items when the library is closed, each of our libraries have a chute on the outside of their facility, please check with each library to confirm the location of this chute.

Once due, loaned items can be renewed once more for a further four weeks provided they have not been requested by someone else.

You can request that items currently on loan be held aside for you at a nominated branch library on their return from loan. You can also request that items located at another branch library be sent to a branch library more convenient for you to visit. *Not Available for Visitors, tourists and temporary members.

When an item becomes 7 days overdue you will be sent an overdue notice via the mail. A second notice will be sent after the items becomes 14 days overdue. If an item becomes 21 days overdue, your membership card will be blocked and cannot be used. You will receive a notice requesting the immediate return of the item or payment for the replacement of the item if it has been lost.

The block on your membership card will be removed once the item is returned or the replacement fee has been paid.

If you lose an item you have borrowed you must pay for it to be replaced. The replacement fee is the cost of the item inclusive of GST.

If you damage an item you have borrowed you must pay for the repair of the item or the replacement of the item if the damage is deemed to be irreparable, inclusive of GST.

Payment can be made at any branch library.

If the item you need is not listed in the branch library catalogue, we can attempt to borrow the item on your behalf from another library service on inter-library loan.

The use of this service is for hard to find books and textbooks. Unfortunately, Audiobooks, CD’s and DVD’s cannot be borrowed on your behalf.

If you think you have lost your library membership card, or if it has been stolen, notify your nearest branch library as soon as possible.

Replacement cards are available from all branch libraries on confirmation of identity

If your contact details change please advise your nearest branch library as soon as possible.
