Darebin Libraries provides a library service to all of our diverse community, including groups identified in the City of Darebin Equity and Inclusion Planning and Audit tool (EIPAT). Resources, program and service delivery is extended to everyone in the community who lives, works, studies or visits the council area.
That is why Darebin Libraries has developed a collections guideline that explains why we collect particular materials. Our collection development guidelines(PDF, 370KB) have been developed to ensure a variety of material and formats are provided to reflect the diverse needs of the Darebin community.
The guidelines provide guidance for the Darebin community, our Council and commercial providers to what should be included in the collection.
All selected material should fulfil the selection guidelines and any specific criteria required for special collections.
