New Click & Deliver library book service
The John Cain Library staff have been busy delivering books to students for our new Click & Deliver book service. This service allows students to reserve books online via the Library webpage, so they can access our fantastic collection of print resources during remote learning. The Click & Deliver book service builds on the online resources and the Ask a Librarian Email service.
Please see instructions attached on how to reserve a library book on the John Cain Library webpage.
Service turn around with the Click & Deliver service will vary depending on library staff having access to the school. All book requested will be delivered to students if the book is available, and the delivery address has been confirmed.
Please note that library books prepared for Click & Deliver have been through the library quarantine process for up to 72 hours, they have also been wiped down and stored following best practice safety procedures.
Feel free to contact library staff for any inquiries or concerns via email at library@nhs.vic.edu.au
