Frequently Asked Questions
What is it?
A free postal service that allows vulnerable members of our community to keep on borrowing from the library under Stage 4 stay-at-home restrictions. A box of library items will be delivered to your address by courier or Australia Post.
The service is available to people who live in the City of Knox, City of Maroondah or Shire of Yarra Ranges.
How do I get started?
There are a few different ways to get started:
- If you already have holds waiting to be collected, you can log in to your account and select ‘Yes Mail Them’.
- If you haven’t already placed holds, you can log in to your account and let us know of your reading preferences or ask us to surprise you.
- If you are unable to access your account you can ring your local branch and they will organise a selection for you based on your reading preferences.
- You can place holds on items that you want, or ask the library to make a selection for you, by logging into your account on the catalogue, phoning your local branch or ringing 1300 737 277.
- You will need your library card number and PIN to place holds through the online catalogue. If you don’t know your PIN, reset it here.
How much can I borrow?
We will fill all boxes that are sent out. If there is room, library staff will include other material following your advice or we will make a selection. It may not be possible to include all your requests in one box; we will do our best.
Each member can request one delivery every 3 weeks.
When will my package arrive?
Depending on where you live, your parcel will be delivered by courier or Australia Post eParcel service.
If your parcel is being delivered by courier, we will email you the day before it will be delivered. You can leave out items to be returned when you are expecting a delivery (see below).
Unfortunately, we can’t tell when your parcel will be delivered if it has been sent via Australia Post.
How do I return my items?
You do not need to return your items until stage 4 restrictions are lifted, however, if you are emailed about a library delivery, you can place items for return in a box and leave them for the courier to collect. You can use the box from the library, or another similar-sized one, clearly marked Returns for Eastern Regional Libraries. A returns sticker is supplied with each delivery.
What if I don’t want my holds posted to me?
You can suspend your hold/s for a designated time (e.g., two months) and you will return to the same queue position when the time is up, or you unsuspend your hold.
You can either do this by logging into your account online here or getting in contact with our friendly staff.
