Library services set to expand from July

Richmond Tweed Regional Library’s Click and Collect service is expanding from June 1. 


The changes will include allowing library members to collect reserved items weekly, rather than monthly, and members without online access will be able to call their local branch to request a bundle of staff picks.


 

There are many ways to access library services right now. 


The Library is offering free online membership to all community members which allows immediate access to online books and magazines.


Current members can also access the Click and Collect service to borrow physical items like books, jigsaws and DVDs. 


There are plenty of preschool and school aged programs through Facebook or the website, you can even join in online author talks. 

 

Richmond Tweed Regional Library Manager Jo Carmody said that the community interest in current services has been fantastic, and staff have been able to adapt many services and programs to ensure the community still has access to reading material and regular programs. 


“It has been a challenge to adapt services, but one staff have willingly and enthusiastically embraced,” Jo said.


Jo said there are still no overdue fees on items borrowed from the library at the moment.

 

“Staff are now focused on further adapting services and the physical set up of the library to meet strict safety guidelines,” she said.


“You will see an increase in access and services with a staged physical reopening of the Library to the public from July 1.” 


For all the latest library information, follow The Richmond Tweed Regional Library on Facebook or check in at the Library website.

For those without internet access, phone your local branch for options.
