COVID-19 — Important notice to our customers
All Port Stephens Libraries — including Mobile Library and Tilligerry Community Library — are now closed to the public to ensure the health and wellbeing of our community.
Homebound Delivery and Call and Collect services will be available until further notice. To use Call and Collect, simply phone Raymond Terrace on 4988 0111 or Tomaree Library on 4988 0670 between 9am to 12 midday and 2 to 5pm and tell us what type of items you enjoy. Staff will select, clean and bundle your loan, then call you when it’s ready for collection.
You can also still access many of our services online. Visit our eLibrary page or download the free Newcastle Libraries app. The eLibrary includes adults and kids books, newspapers, magazines, music and movie streaming, online learning and lots more.
We've extended the loan period on all library items. Any items loaned prior to 20 March have had their due dates extended to 1 May 2020. Any items borrowed from 20 March will have an extended 8 week loan period. If you have placed a reservation on an item that is currently on loan to another member, your wait to receive this will be longer, so we ask that you please be patient.
