Modified City of Fremantle library services

In a further response to the COVID-19 situation, City of Fremantle will be operating a modified library service from Monday 23 March. 

All library spaces will be closed to the public, but people will still be able to loan books and other items at the Customer Service desk at the City’s administration building at Fremantle Oval. 

Customers will be able to browse the City of Fremantle’s library collection and reserve items online, and then collect them from the Customer Service desk. 

Library staff will also be available at the Customer Service desk to assist people with local item requests, borrowing and membership services. 

City of Fremantle Customer Service hours are Monday to Friday 8am-5pm. 

Items available through the library include adult, young adult and children’s books, graphic novels, DVDs, music CDs, audiobooks and magazines. 

All current loans will be extended until 30 June 2020, and the loan limit will be raised to 40 items per member. 

Current Homebound book delivery services will have their allocation of books increased and will continue as usual until otherwise advised. 

The City’s recently launched Neighbour to Neighbour program, which pairs up volunteer helpers with people requiring support, is another option for the pick-up and return of library items. 

For more information about the Neighbour to Neighbour program and to sign up as a volunteer, visit the City’s website. The volunteer sign-up forms are also available in printed format and will be available across the community.
