Access is provided for our customers to the Newcastle Regional Library website where you can search and view the On-line Catalogue.

If there is an item that you want, and it is not on the shelf, you can reserve it by putting it  on "hold"; when the item is available you will be notified, by your choice of mail, phone or email.

If you don't find the item you want in our catalogue please advise the staff and we can consider purchasing it for the library or arrange to borrow it for you from another library. A minimum charge of $11.00 applies to items borrowed from other public libraries. 

You may borrow up to twenty items per visit with a maximum of 40 items on loan at one time. 

 If an item is not reserved by another customer you can renew it either in person, over the phone or online yourself at home. Three renewals per item is allowed.

An after hours chute is provided at the library.

Membership is free!

You can join either in the Library in person or online. There are no forms to fill out.

If you are under 17 you will need an adult family member or guardian to sign for your membership and they must have appropriate identification.

You will be issued with a library card which is required each time you wish to borrow. Please notify the library if you change your name, address or telephone number.

With this card you can use any of the 14 service points of the Newcastle Regional Library.

Please notify the Library immediately if your card is lost or stolen so we can prevent further use of the card.
