Library News

Wollongong City Libraries are now closed to the public, so students don't have access to borrow print versions of books. However, students can join online to be able to borrow eBooks and access the eResources. Previously, students had to attend their local library with a parent to join, but of course, that is no longer possible. 

Here are the instructions for students to join online:

1. Click on this link https://wollongong.spydus.com/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/MSGTRN/WPAC/JOIN to go to the Wollongong City Libraries' online membership information page.
2. Click on agree to accept the terms and conditions. You will then be taken to a membership form to be completed online. It is important for a parent to complete the additional section if you are under 16 years of age. 
3. Once the form has been submitted, you will receive an email with your library barcode number - this may take a day or two if there is heavy demand. The barcode number is important to be able to gain access to the e-books and online resources. Your membership card will be posted in the mail.

Instructions for borrowing eBooks from Wollongong City Libraries:
