Borrowing
Your TAFEcard is your library card for the duration of your enrolment. It allows you to borrow from any TAFE NSW library including the Ourimbah Campus library.  Keep your TAFEcard as it is a permanent ID card which will be re-activated whenever you take up study with TAFE again.  Keep your TAFEcard with you at all times.

You are responsible for all items borrowed on your card. Library items must be returned by the due date. Fines and charges are payable for items returned late or damaged, or if you fail to return items. Go to Getting a TAFEcard for more information.

You can also borrow from The University of Newcastle library. A fee applies. Ask at any campus library for details.

Library tours are provided to new students at the beginning of their courses. If you miss your class tour please see the library staff to arrange a tour or introduction to the library.
