Canterbury Bankstown - Home Library Service

Situated in the South-West of Sydney, our service covers 110.8 square kilometres of the LGA. As of 7.5.25 we deliver to 71 individual patrons, 45 individuals in aged care and deliver bulk loans for 7 aged care institutions.

To account for our large, amalgamated council we operate from both Campsie and Bankstown Library and Knowledge Centres and deliver from these libraries corresponding with their former council areas.

We have 16 routes; each route is covered every 4 weeks. We loan audio listening devices, USBs, SD cards and tablets for e-reading along with the usual library materials: large print, magazines, DVDs etc. We have a few CALD patrons with Greek, Arabic, Vietnamese, Italian and Chinese being some of our most popular languages.

We are a team of 5 full-time employees including a Team Leader and Technical Specialist. Both libraries have a Toyota Hiace van where we always drive in pairs. We sometimes drive a Toyota Tarago also belonging to the library.

Over the last two years we have recently re-invigorated our public image through a variety of projects including a team polo, custom van wraps and a promotional video.

This is the profile sheet we use when signing up new patrons. It is a working document where changes to selection preferences, one-off requests and delivery arrangements are constantly made.
