Victorian Public Libraries

The Victorian Public Libraries have fantastic user friendly websites.
By becoming a member (which is FREE of charge) you can request items to be delivered to your preferred library for pick up, search for articles from recent (and not so recent) newspapers and journals, download audiobooks onto your iPad/eReader and all this is available 24/7.  Checkout the list of Victorian Public library websites:

http://www.centralhighlandslibraries.org.au/client/chls
http://www.humelibraries.vic.gov.au/Homepage
http://mvcc.vic.gov.au/for-residents/libraries.aspx
http://www.ncgrl.vic.gov.au/
http://www.moreland.vic.gov.au/moreland-libraries.html

All the above websites also include 'What's On' at your local library.  Including Author talks, School holiday activities, Book Clubs, Pre-School Storytime and more...
If you do have an issue in getting around one of the library websites drop into your local library where I'm sure one of the wonderful library staff would be more than happy to help.
I LOVE Victoria's Public Libraries.
