Information Technology

The libraries have a fully integrated PC-based information system with online public access catalogues and access to online databases. The Internet is available at all branches, ring your branch and make a booking!

Self Service Loans

Civic Square, A.H.Bracks and Bull Creek Libraries have installed a self-issue loans system that allows people to issue items to themselves rather than have staff perform the normal checkout function. A great service for people in a hurry!
