Booking 

Bookings can be made at each branch using the self-booking system but cannot be taken over the phone. Please read our Public Computer Centre Conditions of Use.

Library members are entitled to three hours of computer use per day in one hour sessions.

Computer Printing 

If you need to print something from a computer you will need to purchase a printing card (which can be used on the photocopiers too). There is both black/white and colour printing available but there is a per page fee.

Photocopying

Photocopying is available in black/white and colour. Black/white photocopiers are located at all three libraries while colour photocopying is only available at Merrylands. All copiers provide both A3 and A4 sized copies.

You may purchase a photocopy card for use on the black and white copiers. Purchasing this card gives you discounted copies. You may also use coins if you wish. Copiers do not provide you with change, however change is available at the desk.

The colour photocopier takes coins only but cannot give change. You cannot use your black and white photocopy card to make colour copies.

You cannot make transparencies with any of the photocopiers.

Should you require assistance with your photocopying, your friendly library staff will be more than happy to help.
