LOCKYER VALLEY LIBRARIES EVOLVE

Well......Lockyer Valley Libraries have finally evolved. On Monday, 16th June, Laidley Library went live with Spydus.

What does that mean?
It means that every library within Lockyer Valley Libraries is using the same computer system. It also means that you can search the catalogue http://library.lockyervalley.qld.gov.au/ to
  • search the 50 000 plus items the library has
  • Place a reservation on one of these items which you will be able to collect from any of the static libraries (Gatton or Laidley) or the mobile library stops (Murphys Creek, Helidon, Withcott, Stockyard Creek, Ma Ma Creek, Mt Whitestone, Tent Hill Lower, Mt Sylvia and our newest stop Plainland.
  • Use your library card at any of these locations to borrow up to 15 items (including 10 audio visual items (videos, cassettes, CDs) and 2 DVDs
  • Return books borrowed at any location to another location
  • Borrow books from any location

The next stage

Lockyer Valley Library staff are eagerly waiting for the delivery of new library bags and library cards to reflect the new library service. These are due within the next 2 months.

Library Cards

Once the new library cards arrive, library staff will replace your library card on your next visit. At this time, we will also update your details and tell you about the new features our library computer system has which we hope you can take advantage of.
