THE DOORS may be locked, but information is still flowing from Isaac Regional Council libraries.

Mayor Anne Baker said the collection of free online music, magazines, books and movies was available 24/7 thanks to the online library service.

Residents could help flatten the curve while bingeing on their favourite movies with more than 30,000 documentaries, classic and indie films available, Cr Baker said.

"The best thing is that you can do it all from the comfort of your home," she said.
