In Person Loans

TAFE NSW Libraries

If you are able to visit a TAFE NSW Library you can borrow items directly. Your nearest library may also be able to organise an Interlibrary Loan so you can pickup and return an item from another library locally. For Interlibrary Loans, items must be collected and returned to the same pick up location.

Tertiary educational libraries across Australia

TAFE Digital students currently enrolled in a course and able to visit a member library in another state may be eligible to participate in the National Reciprocal Borrowing scheme. This is a free service.  Please contact a TAFE NSW Library  or the Chat line first for assistance. You will need a TAFEcard to access this service.

Postal Loans

TAFE NSW Digital students who live in Australia and cannot get to a TAFE library may be able to use the free postal loan service.

The service is limited to students requiring course related resources and:

  • currently enrolled in a TAFE Digital course (includes OTEN and TAFE Now courses)
  • unable to attend a TAFE NSW library due to distance or disability
  • with a postal address in Australia
  • with a TAFEcard

Students will be provided with a reply paid envelope. Extra time is given on the loan to cover posting period.

Please contact Western Sydney Library Service with your requirements via email
