The Green Square Library is a part of the City of
Sydney Library Network, so the members have access to over 500,000
items through the 8 branches.
Unfortunately only a couple of thousands
monographs being held at the Green Square branch making it one of the
smallest of the libraries in the network. Only popular literature / young and adult fiction and the hobby / particularly the DIY, gardening and parenting/ non- fiction section had substantial number of books, just a few monographs were dedicated to local studies.
The online catalouge is where the clients
can access services and the above mentioned 500,000 items and resources. There is a general e-mail
address for requests askthelibrary@cityofsydney.com.au.
I have to point out that the Online Database and Online reference collection of the City of Sydney Library Network is very impressive. Through the E-library members have 24/7
Online access to information and full-text databases,
electronic publications, videos, images, full-text newspaper archives simply using their library cards, although some of the databases are for in-library use only. Examples are : Oxford Reference Online, Science Reference Centre, Business Review, Reuters...and age appropriate versions of the Britannica / Britannica Student, Britannica Junior /and the World Book Online for kids.

| Kids corner at my local library |
Children’s collection: The library's activities reflecting that Alexandria is a suburb of young families : Rhymetime held every Wednesday and there are several other programs for mothers and their babies. The selection of children's books seemed to be well chosen and shelves looked tidy. The kid's corner is simple but inviting, bright and clean with pillows and bean bags scattered on the floor.
