Using Your Library

We love having you visit our libraries. Residents and non-residents of the Campbelltown Local Government Area (LGA) are welcome to join the library free of charge.

To join the Library you need to show appropriate identification that includes your name and current address.

• If you are 16 years of age or older and have appropriate identification that includes your current address, you can join the library.
• If you are under 16, your library card must be signed by a parent or guardian.
• If you are 16+ and haven't any formal ID or unable to give us your address we can offer temporary membership lasting for three months.

Once your membership has been completed you will be given a library card which you can use immediately. Your card can be used at all branches of the Campbelltown City Library Service. You can start the process by filling out our online application by clicking the link below.

• You can renew an item twice - then it will need to be returned
• Items that have been requested by other customers cannot be renewed.

Items that are out on loan or available at other branches can be requested free of charge.

• You will be sent an email or SMS as soon as the item becomes available for you to collect. Please ensure your contact details are correct.
• All requests will be held for one week.

If the library does not hold an item, we can try to borrow it for you from another library via our Inter Library Loans Service.

• Items borrowed for you from another library service may have restrictions places by the lending library.
• We welcome your suggestions for items to be added to the collection. You can make suggestions by completing our Suggest a Purchase form or speaking with one of our friendly staff.
• Items added to the collection must fit with our overall Library Collection Development Policy(PDF, 126KB).

The Library does not charge overdue fines*. To encourage the prompt return of library items for use by others, membership privileges will be suspended when items become overdue. The suspension will remain in place until all items are returned.

*Overdue items borrowed through Inter-Library Loans will incur an overdue fine of 50¢ per day.

If an item is lost or damaged while it is on loan to you, you will be charged the replacement cost plus a processing fee.

Damaged CD's, Talking books and DVD's will be charged only if it is due to obvious negligence.
