Country Borrowers
Whereas the services of most public library services is tailored for those within a local government area, people living outside of the Alice Springs Town Council boundaries may also become Borrowers. This is a service for residents of out-lying areas who are not able to make regular visits to Alice Springs. These members live more than 100 km from Alice Springs but south of Barrow Creek although the service is also available for those who have their mail delivered via Alice Springs Post Office.
Items are delivered by mail planes which service central Australia and returned using a freepost address in order to ensure equity of access to information for those who live in one of the most scarcely populated areas on earth.
More information on the Country Borrower service, including selection preference forms can be found on the library website.

Famous quotes containing the word country:
“I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its “successful experiment” that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
