5.3 Express book collection
The Express Book Service offers a selection of our most popular books for immediate borrowing with a shorter loan duration and limited number of titles per borrower to ensure maximum availability. The majority of titles are newly published. There are also titles included that have regained renewed interest, such as a title that was published in a previous year but became an award winner the following year.
The purpose of the Express Service is to:
- Enable clients to access popular and bestselling titles immediately
- Provide an alternative method for clients to access and borrow our materials
- Allow new titles to be visibly seen and promoted in our libraries.
The collection is comprised mostly of adult fiction with a smaller number of adult non-fiction books. Titles include:
- New release bestsellers
- Books receiving high levels of publisher and media marketing
- New release film tie-ins
- Prize winners
- Works by Tasmanian authors.
