Libraries will be cash-free from Monday 10 November 2025.
Why go cashless?
- Most library collections and services are free.
- The amount of cash being taken is minimal but the cost of managing it is high.
Some libraries are already cash free
The decision to go cashless was made following successful trials at Fendalton Library, South Colombo Library, and the South Mobile service.
