It's almost the festive season! Borrow your library items before some of our branches close over the holiday period. Don't forget that you can always access our eResources online including eBooks, eAudiobooks, eMagazines and much more.

Return chutes will be open at all branches and normal operating hours will resume on Tuesday 3 January 2023.
