Borrowing
-
You can borrow up to 20 items per library card. All items have a 4 week loan period.
Some newly-released, high demand items may have a 2 week (14 day) loan period, you will be notified of this at time of borrowing.
-
Items can be returned to Picton Library or the Mobile Library. For after-hours returns, access the chute outside Picton Library.
Library items are publicly-funded community property, and should be returned so that others can use them.
-
When you joined the library, you created a PIN/password – you use this to log into our computers and your Library account online.
If you have forgotten your pin, select Forgot your password in the account login. A link will be sent to the email you registered with.
Your account will be blocked as a security measure if your pin is entered incorrectly in the account login too many times. If this occurs or there are any issues, contact the library and we will reset your PIN/password for you. -
There are no fines for late returns.
If an item is overdue, the Library will contact you to remind you to return it.
However, if you do not respond to requests to return overdue items, Council will charge full replacement cost of the item, plus processing charges.
-
Items which have been lost or returned damaged will incur a fee for the replacement cost of the item, plus a processing fee. The processing fee covers cataloguing, covering, RFID and stickers. The Council may undertake proceedings to recover this debt.
