New partnership: Lilydale Lakeside Academic Library and Lilydale Community Library
To help improve access to our collection, our most popular and new library books from the Lilydale Lakeside Academic Library can now be borrowed from the ‘Your Library’ Lilydale Community Library on the ground floor of Building 5.
To borrow books from our collection, Lilydale students and staff can visit the Community Library with their student/staff ID card and sign up to become a member. The Lilydale Community Library is open 7 days a week.
The library study space on level 1 will remain open to students needing a quiet, relaxing area to work and our library team will continue to be available on campus to assist students and staff with locating online or hardcopy resources, basic IT issues, using the printer for free printing, copying and scanning, to help with research and referencing.
