How to make a request

If we do not have material in your particular language we can order some from the State Library of NSW. The State Library supplies us, on request, a box of randomly selected titles in the chosen language for three months.

During that time you can come to the library and borrow them for three (3) weeks to read at your leisure.

Requesting specific titles

If you want a specific title, or a particular author's works in your language which we do not have, we can request them from another library service via an Inter Library Loan. Please note that charges apply for this service.

Just ask the staff and they will be able to assist you.
