Community Language Boxes

If the library does not have books in your language we can order a box of mixed titles from the State Library of NSW.  The State Library holds books in over 40 languages and our staff can arrange for a box to be sent to your nearest library for you to borrow.

How do I make a request?

  • To place a request for a community language box you will need to have a valid Campbelltown library card
  • Then simply speak to a staff member at any one of our library branches and they will place the request for you.

To check if the language you are looking for is available please visit the multicultural bulk loans page on the NSW State Library website.
