    Borrowing from the NT Library

Clients of the Parliamentary Library Service are able to borrow resources from the Northern Territory Library's General Collection.

The loan period for books is 4 weeks, and you may renew

  • in person
  • by phoning 8999 7442 or 8999 6017
  • by e-mail - parlibrary.dlghs@nt.gov.au

    If the Library does not have the book you are looking for, we can arrange either to purchase it or to borrow it from another library.

    Books can be picked up from the Library, or you can arrange to have them mailed to the electorate office at no cost.

To register as a borrower, complete this form and return to the library. You will then receive your membership registration barcode number which will allow you to borrow material and access the library's online databases from your desktop.
