Would you like to check out books as you browse the library?

Now you can!

We’ve launched a new quick & convenient way to check out items at the library shelf with the LibrariesSA App.

Watch the video ( https://youtu.be/ch3JOQfTGyg ) to see how or just follow these easy steps:

  1. Open the LibrariesSA app and make sure you are logged in.
  2. Tap the SELF-CHECK icon from the right corner of the screen or use the Self-Check option lower down the page.
  3. Items check out to the default user - to check out to a linked account, select linked users fom the drop down box.
  4. Allow any location settings to be enabled.
  5. Click on 'Check-Out' - your phone will show 'Ready to scan'
  6. Place your phone on the back of the book over the RFID tag. This is normally a white rectangular tag on the underside of the back cover.
  7. The screen will display a message whether the loan has been successful.
  8. Repeat for any additional items - select the 'scan a library item' option
  9. Once complete, select 'Finish' in the top right corner of the screen. A popup will appear to confirm the number of items borrowed.
