Residents are now able to browse, borrow and return books outside of their local library after Brimbank libraries launched its first book locker in Derrimut this month.
The locker works similarly to a parcel locker, with users able to borrow books using their library card and navigating a touch screen on the machine.
Readers can use the locker as a pick-up point for requested library items and are able to use the internal chute for returns too.
Brimbank mayor Thuy Dang said the book locker makes access to library services easier and more convenient for locals.
“The new book locker at Derrimut Community Centre brings library access closer to home, so that Brimbank library members in the area can borrow and return books, magazines, and games,” Cr Dang said.
“The book locker reflects our commitment to meeting the growing demand for library resources in Derrimut and surrounding areas.”
The locker is available to use between 7am to 6.30pm from Monday to Friday and is located at the Derrimut Community Centre.
