I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. Book clubs are already able to order multiple copies of books through their local libraries, with notice, at no charge to the readers. Under the framework agreement, the State Library of Western Australia provides the resources to purchase items for public libraries throughout the state, with the public libraries servicing the local community.
