Library fees and charges

While your membership and borrowing items is free, we do have small fees and charges for additional services listed below.

We no longer apply overdue fines for late returns but please note that borrowing rights are suspended if an item is more than 21 days overdue. If loans are not returned within 50 days an account will be sent to a debt collector, and a further $16 collection fee will be added to the account.

Please note - Inter Library Loans are currently unavailable, while public libraries across the state are transitioning to a new courier service. Learn more.
