For those outside the town limits you can ring the library for stock to be put aside and pick up from the front of the Community Hub building.

Ms Kearnes reminds members that as part of your membership you have free access to BorrowBox for eAudiobooks and eBooks.
This gives you a limit of four titles of each eAudio and eBooks at one time. You will need your membership number and date of birth (ddmmyy) to log into the free app. This is the same as logging into the library catalogue.
Story Box is free as part of your membership as well. Story Box Library provides a vibrant, interactive experience via a diverse range of everyday storytellers - actors, comedians, sports people, musicians, artists, authors, children - with varying accents and from different cultures, each sharing past and present book titles. The result is meaningful, entertaining readings that focus on both teller and tale. This is a streaming service so there are no limits to the number of titles you can listen to. You will be asked for your membership number only. No password required.
For school projects you have access to several online resources via the Grenfell Library website. These are all free of charge and can be used from home.
Family historians who would like access to inhouse resources please send an email to grenlib@grenfell.org.au and you will be provided access. This access will not be provided over the phone.
