Media Release 2013

Join up in January to win a iPad mini


Join a Wyong Shire Council Library. Win a iPad mini.

Yes, it really is that simple!

If you join one of our 5 libraries in January you will automatically be entered into a draw to win a iPad mini. 

Council’s Library Services Coordinator, Ms Andrea Edwards said there are many reasons to join the library and the benefits are enormous. 

“There are more than 150,000 reasons to join the Library, and they’re all on our shelves,” said Ms Edwards.

“It’s free to become a library member and quick and easy to do so.  A library card is really a passport to lots of opportunities for all ages.”

“From serious reads, to the latest release DVDS, free wifi, computer access, children’s events and author talks there really is something for everyone.”

Anyone can join by visiting one of the branches or go online to tap into a huge range of services, from signing up and browsing the catalogue to free eBook downloads.

“If you got a new iPad or android device for Christmas, fill it up with a selection of eBooks, eAudiobooks, eMagazines and eMovies – any time of the day or night,” Ms Edwards said.

Current members of our libraries will reach 37,000 soon and 2,714 have joined since June.

There are more than 120,000 books in the Libraries’ collection, over 16,000 DVDs and 2,150  eBooks available for downloading.

“Besides borrowing you can search your family history, explore our local history, get homework help or browse our huge range on online resources – the opportunities are endless,” said Ms Edwards.

Members can borrow up to 20 physical items at a time – books, CDs, DVDs, up to four eBooks can be downloaded at a time and there is unlimited access to eMagazines and Indieflix films.

“So if you haven’t joined the library yet, why not pop into your local one next time you’re passing and see what it has to offer you.  You won’t be disappointed,” said Ms Edwards.

Library branches are located at Westfield at Tuggerah, Lake Haven Shopping Centre, Bateau Bay Village Shopping Centre, on The Entrance Road, in Toukley and a library link at Gwandalan.
