Looking for cds

Have you looked on the shelves and haven't found the latest cds? Try searching the catalogue. Music CDs are so popular they often don't make it to the shelf, they are reserved by many of our members.

If you frequently place reservations you may want to purchase a ReservationPLUS card.

• Place 5 reservations for $10 and receive 2 free reservations (or $5 for Government Concession card holders, GST Inclusive)
