How to Make a Booking
It's easy to make a booking:
- Jump on a machine if no-one is using it;
- Ask a librarian at one of the service desks;
- Book using a self-booking station.
Printing
A4 printing is available at all of the Tasman District Libraries.
You can bring material that you would like to print to the library on a USB memory stick, SD card etc - or create it in the library.
- You can ask staff to print single or double-sided.
- Rates are determined by the number of printed sides, not the number of sheets of paper.
- If you are having any issues printing, or would just like some advice, please ask library staff.
