How does it work?

The Library Express service allows you to arrange with our staff for a selection of items (chosen by our librarians) to be delivered to you by courier.

Any (borrowable) item in our collection (Library Catalogue) can be requested — either choose your items yourself, or request that our librarians select for you

Give us a general idea of the topics, authors or formats you're interested in, such as 3 children's picture books about foxes, 4 rose gardening books, 3 books by Bill Bryson, or 2 recent fashion magazines.

Details will be confirmed with you before dispatch.

Charges and Payment

Charges depend on your request and this will be confirmed as applicable (e.g. $2 extra per item if you are a rental borrower, delivery fee).

Library members who use this service via phone, email — a charge will be placed on your library card for you to pay on your next library visit or online.
