COUNCIL SERVICES THROUGH THE LIBRARIES
The City of Ryde is now expanding resident access to Council services though its network of libraries.
With the exception of matters relating to development, residents can now access a range of services and information previously only available from the Civic Centre.
A Council Kiosk (dedicated computer) is available at each branch library for resident access to Council information and to make payments online. All library staff have been trained in Council services and will be able to assist you with your enquiries.
Payments for Council services can be made at the libraries by cheque, money order, Mastercard and Visa (merchant fees apply). Please note, however, that cash payments cannot be accepted at the libraries.
