Council plans to align fees for a number of library services across all 11 Central Coast Council libraries from 4 April.

As part of the process of streamlining all fees and services, a document outlining the first stage in fee alignment for the libraries went on public exhibition this week.

Fees being aligned at this stage of the process are for overdue items, reservations, inter-library loans, lost library resources, damaged library items and reapplication of item identification.

When all council libraries move to one Library Management System in the new financial year, residents will be able to check the catalogue, borrow, reserve and return at any of the 11 council libraries and access a greater range of e-resources, using one card.
