Multicultural services for NSW residents

Get a Library card View of magazines on phone and tablet

NSW residents can sign up for a Library card online and access an extensive range of eresources and ebooks, including online access from anywhere - and it's free to join.

You will receive your Library card number via email (next business day). We will then post the card to you at a later date.

Non NSW residents, as online resources are only available to you within the Library, you will need to collect your Library card in person when we reopen.
