Suggestions for items to buy are most appreciated.
You may even want to donate your old cycling books to the library as a couple of our members have already done – you can always borrow them back at any time.
The procedure for borrowing an item is as follows:
- Go to Sustainable Living Tasmania
- Click the Quick Link “Online Environmental Resource Library”(near bottom of list, left hand side).
- Click the Advanced Search, More Options button.
- In the Search On group change the Branch to Bicycle Tasmania then click the Start Search button.
- Check the item is not already on loan.
- At the moment the online reservation system is not operating so you will need to reserve books in person.
- Visit the Sustainable Living Tasmania office, 1st floor, 71 Murray Street.
- Find the BT item want to borrow (they are all located together).
- Take it to one of the friendly SLT staff and indicate you are a BT member.
- Quote the BT membership number: 1357
- Show your personal/ current BT membership card, for example #09/303 (quoting a number is not sufficient).
- The bar code will be scanned and a separate entry will be written in a BT log book.
You can only borrow BT items, not items from the general SLT collection although you may want to consider becoming an SLT member anyway.
