LIAC (Legal Information Access Centre)
The Legal Information Access Centre (LIAC) is a free legal information service for NSW residents, provided through public libraries, managed, maintained and supported by the State Library of NSW. Through this initiative Parkes Shire libraries provide legal information - from plain language guides, pamphlets through to more complex materials.

The two main resources that make up this collection are the Hot Topics, plain language information for students and others who want to understand a recent legal issue or change in the law, and the Legal Tool Kit, a regularly updated collection of plain language books about the law.

Visit any of the Parkes Shire Libraries for more information.

drug info @ your library
drug info @ your library is a joint initiative of the State Library of NSW and the NSW Premier's Department. Through this initiative Parkes Shire libraries provide drug information you can trust.
