Popular Items

Heavily requested items have their borrowing period halved (from 4 to 2 weeks, and from 2 to 1 week respectively) to ensure borrowers have a shorter wait time for popular items. Library staff will advise if you have borrowed a "popular item" at time of borrowing.

Renewals

Two renewals per item are permitted as long as the title has not been requested by another borrower, and will usually happen automatically. Items may be renewed manually online (login into My Account), in person at the Library, by emailing library@apc.sa.gov.au or over the phone on 8520 2100.

The Two Wells Library keeps the latest copies of commercial newspapers - the “Bunyip”, the ”Advertiser” and the “Plains Producer”, which patrons are welcome to read in the Library.
