Legal Information
How do I change my name? How
do I find out about going to court?
You can find out the answers to these questions by checking
out the Legal Information Access Collection at the Bega Valley Shire Library (LIAC
collection).
Each branch library has a Legal Tool Kit, which is a regularly
updated collection of plain language books about various aspects of Australian
law. As well as the Legal Tool Kit, Bega Library also holds the Law Books
for Libraries collection, which offers more extensive resources on Australian
law, including videos.
 If you are interested in a particular legal topic, check out the magazine
style Hot Topics series. Hot Topics documents recent changes and current debates
in the law. Each topic provides comprehensive coverage in plain language on a
particular topic, written and vetted by legal professionals. Case studies,
further reading and contacts are included. Recent Hot Topic titles include
Consumers and Money, Discrimination, Employment and the Law, Intellectual
Disability and Criminal law, and Human Rights. Great for school projects!
Each of our libraries, also has a range of free pamphlets on
legal issues.
The collection is supported by the State Library of NSW.
