Although the library is shut, there are still ways that people can access the collection - we are still working behind the scene although the library is closed to the public!

If you wish to replenish your reading stock, please ring the library on 67402190 to speak to a staff member about joining the contact free house-bound service. Simply tell the staff the type and number of books you wish, and they will be delivered to your door once a fortnight.
The library is also offering activity packs in lieu of the usual school holiday program. We have packs for four age groups: four to seven years, eight to 12 years, and over 13 years old. These packs can be ordered and can be collected - contact free - from the library, or delivered with the house-bound book bags.
There's plenty to engage the children as the packs contain lots of puzzles, colouring in, drawing and word games, number games and activities, such as join the dots and spot the objects.
For readers with devices, the library also has some eResources that can be accessed from the comfort of your own home.
rbDigital gives access to eBooks, eMagazines, and audio books, and World trade Press has information about places all around the world, such as food, culture, geography and a language education section.
These resources are available by using your membership code (barcode number) and the links are on the library website [http://thecivic.com.au/index.php/en/library]
Library members, using their library card, can also access resources made available through the NSW State Library. By going to the State Library website [www.sl.nsw.gov.au] and Research and Collections - eBooks, you will find a wide range of books, both fiction and non-fiction, which can be downloaded.
Take the opportunity to explore the collections of newspapers, manuscripts and oral history held by the State Library.
If you haven't got your library number to hand, just ring the library on 67402090!
There are also eBooks and audio books available through the free website [www.gutenberg.org] or the Australian [www.gutenberg.net.au] . These are titles published before 1955 and are therefore in the public domain. Time to catch up with all the classics!
Happy reading!
