Protecting Clarence Valley Library team and community members

Due to increasing concerns of the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) we’ve implemented precautionary measures across all Clarence Valley libraries to protect our library team and community members.

Our number one preference for accessing library services at this time is online.

The Clarence Regional Library Card gives members access to free eResources including over 7000 eBooks, eAudiobooks and eMagazines ready to be downloaded now.

Visit us at www.crl.nsw.gov.au or download our new library app to access your library anytime, anywhere.

If you require further services, you can still visit your local library.
