Libraries - reserving books and other items 


Book unavailable?

You can also request items at your local library by filling in a reservation card.  We will contact you to tell you when the item is ready for you to borrow.

Inter Library Loans

If we don't have the item you want in any of our libraries we can try to borrow it from another library for you. There is a charge for this service - see our Library charges page for details.

Reservation Notifications by Voice or Text Message

Did you know we can text or leave you a voice message when your reservation is ready for collection? 

If you have a mobile phone, you can choose to be notified by text message. If you have a land line, our system can contact you with an automated voice message.  

To take advantage of this service, please ask about our telephone messaging service on your next visit to the library.
