Home Library Service

About the home library service

Logan City Council Libraries, through a network of volunteer community workers, provides library material to residents of Logan who are confined to home for a genuine reason. The loan limit can be adjusted to meet the needs of home library service borrowers and extensions on loan periods are available. Visits to deliver items are made at a day and time which suits the borrower and volunteer. Visits are usually made monthly.

Home library service borrowers may request particular items through volunteers and library staff, or alternatively by phoning (07) 3412 4147 or emailing libraries@logan.qld.gov.au. Borrowers can also make requests via the library catalogue on the Internet.

Logan City Council has a large collection of items for loan including:

The library produces a quarterly newsletter, On the Homefront, especially for home library service borrowers and volunteers. This newsletter contains information on new resources, recipes and articles contributed by readers.
