Wimmera Libraries Open Access Survey

Survey Regarding Extended Library Access Hours

Complete Survey (until midnight 12 March)

Similar to the YMCH gym in Horsham, which now offers 24/7 access, libraries across Victoria, Australia and around the world are increasing the number of hours that their communities can use the library by offering special after-hours membership access.

Patrons can borrow and return books, use the computers, wifi, printing and scanning, and enjoy their “community living room” for study, work and leisure.

Wimmera Libraries has the opportunity to apply for funding to fit out our branches with the security and technology to allow the community to use our libraries on days, evenings and weekends when we are usually closed.

We are seeking the community’s feedback about this proposal. Please complete the survey below to provide your input (approximately 5 minutes to complete).

If you would like more information about how Open Access works, visit these library services’ websites:

Four more councils’ Open Access initiatives will be launching soon, as a result of the last round of library infrastructure funding (Hepburn, Shepparton, Strathbogie and Moira Shires).
