Maribyrnong residents can now collect their library items from a new book locker located at Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre (MAC).
Items can be returned to the book locker or any of the five Maribyrnong Libraries branches.
These are the Braybrook Library, Footscray Library,Maribyrnong Library, West Footscray Library and Yarraville Library.
The Library at MAC book locker operates during the Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre’s opening hours.
Council said whether it’s early morning or late evening, members can collect or return their items at a time that suits them best.
Maribyrnong Mayor Cuc Lam said the book locker is a free and convenient solution for library members to retrieve their items even if they can’t make it to a library.
“We are thrilled to introduce this new service so that library members can collect their items while enjoying the facilities at Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre,” she said.
“Last year Maribyrnong Libraries had more than 300,000 visits and members loaned over 520,000 items.
“The Library at MAC book locker makes it easier for all members to access our terrific collection of books, DVDs and more.”
To celebrate the Library at MAC, council said early adopters will go in the running to win a wellbeing prize pack.
To become a member who uses the new locker, residents can visit the Maribyrnong library branch, or sign up online.
