 What other libraries can I use?

| Community members |
Members of the public are welcome to visit Challenger libraries, and browse the collection (except for Peel campus, which is also a secondary school library, and does not allow the public in the library). To borrow items members of the public must join as a Community Borrower. Community borrowers cannot use the computers in the library, or access the online databases.
Rockingham campus - There is no charge for community membership at the Rockingham campus library, and borrowing rights are the same as for Challenger students based at Rockingham.
Fremantle (Beaconsfield), Maritime and Murdoch campuses – There is a charge of $44 for 12 months, and $22 for 6 months (non-refundable). A limit of 4 items can be borrowed. Please contact the library for more details.
Please note – Community Borrowers can still access resources at the Peel campus library through inter-library loan. Please ask library staff for more details. |
