Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Valley Mobile will be off the road today. It will be back on the road on Monday.
Items can be renewed via the web catalogue if you know your PIN or via library staff at one of our branches.
Cheers, Maryanne

New Library Management System at ERL
In March 2007, Eastern Regional Libraries will commence using a new Library management system.
ERL is a member of the Swift Library Consortium and has been one of the original libraries involved in the project since its inception. By July 2007 there will be nine libraries running live on the SirsiDynix Unicorn library management system and already another five libraries have signed up to join the Consortium in 2007/2008.
The new system will mean improved functionality for staff and also offer our customers improved features through the Public Catalogue (called iBistro). These features will include:
Due to the nature of such a major conversion and update, there will some minimal disruption to service to the public during the final conversion stage of the project in March. We will keep you notified of dates when they are confirmed. This is the first major upgrade of the library management system undertaken at ERL for over 20 years.
