6. Donations


Libraries Tasmania welcomes selected donations of material for the lending collections. Donations to the lending collection must meet the following criteria:

  • Fiction or non-fiction books, DVDs, or music CDs in good condition
  • Item published in the previous three years
  • There is an existing record on the library catalogue. 

Tasmanian materials are always welcome and may be utilised within other areas of the library collection.  The Library reserves the right to dispose of any items if they are not needed, at any time and by any means, including the right to offer them to any other body deemed appropriate, or to recycle them.
