Wollondilly Library and Information Service

On the 12 September 1988 Council officially adopted the Library Act and for the last 20 years the Library has played an increasingly important role in the social support of our Community. We are the youngest Library in NSW and the 20 years "young" celebration is coinciding with History Week taking place from 8th to 12th September 2008.

Your library Service is more than just books. A Library Card will give you access to CDs, Magazines, DVDs, Worldbook online, thousands of online journals, free Internet, computers, photocopying and printing. We introduce young children to the love of reading through our Story time session, we home deliver to people who can't get to us due to age or disability and as well as having access to a vast collection beyond our wall we have great collection ourselves that can be accessed online in the comfort of your own home.

Providing the same services, the Mobile Library visits 11 towns in the Shire it is equipped with the latest communications technology which provides faster Internet access for the community.

All week the Picton Library and the Mobile Library will be celebrating and at 3pm on the 12th September the Mayor will be cutting the birthday cake. Everyone is invited to join us and take pride in celebrating this wonderful service. A bonus for some lucky people visiting the library will be the lucky door prize which will be given away twice a day. The prize is a $50 voucher which can be spent at any of the 74 local businesses throughout the Shire listed on the voucher.

Other birthday bonuses include:

Birthday party theme for all Story time activities Free library bags

Free inter-library loans for the week

Please join in the festivities and come along for the cutting of the cake at 3pm on the 12th September
