Connectivity

We’re also funded by the NSW Government’s Public Library Grants and Subsidies allocation to offer NSW libraries and councils subsidised internet connectivity, eResources and associated services. A service managed by the State Library of New South Wales, we’ve been helping our clients build better connected communities since 1996.
