Borrowing from the library
Libraries Tasmania no longer charges overdue fines. So if you're running late to get a book back, just drop it off next time you're coming past, or return it to another library as soon as you've finished with it. Note, if items are still not returned after three weeks, you'll lose the ability to borrow.
If you have accidentally lost or damaged an item, we'll only ask you to pay a fair replacement cost based on the item's age and condition.
Remember, you can borrow and drop back your book or item at any one of our libraries in Tasmania.
So come into one of our libraries and see what's new.
