Both our libraries can provide you with access to a range of online resources to support students and young adults. These include databases like eLibrary and World Book Encyclopedia that has the ‘Discover’ module for learning and life skills, research tools, multi-media and interactive videos. Follow the links from our ‘Online Resources’ tab to login.

Both libraries also have extensive collections of non-fiction books on a wide range of topics. You can search for them using our online catalogue at home or school 24/7 by clicking this image on our home webpage.

Our state-wide ‘One Card’ catalogue means that you can search for and request items from all other public libraries around South Australia if we don’t have what you need.
