Spread the word about our fantastic resources. Encourage others to get a library card and start borrowing! Even better, visit a library with a friend and read a book together!

Our branch displays are always jam packed with reads selected by our library teams. During June, you will find Trending Titles, Refugee Week, Crime fiction, Cosy Reads displays and more. Drop into a branch and pick up a stack for your to-be-read-pile. Fun fact: Our whole team can help you select something to borrow so don't be afraid to ask for recommendations!
Full membership means you can borrow up to 40 items at a time, and if there are no reservations on the items, we will auto renew the loan so you have even longer to enjoy them. Borrow, read, return, repeat! Find out about loan limits here.
