Also on offer to library members are a range of e-books or e-audio titles downloadable to your computer, tablet, phone or other digital device for free.
Library manager Sonya Lange said if you are practicing social-distancing and don't wish to enter the library, patrons can still reserve titles available to borrow and staff will package them together for collection.
"The service will operate while the library is open, and if we are required to close to the public, will operate as long as staff are able to attend work.
"You can DIY, by logging into our catalogue, and reserving any titles that you would like to borrow - we will collect them, issue them to your card, then contact you with instructions on how to collect," she said on Facebook.
