Lending Services

Borrowing items

You are able to borrow a maximum of 12 books for 3 weeks. All book and spoken word loans are free. You may also borrow video tapes, DVDs, cassettes, CDs and language tapes.

Renewals

There are charges on books returned late which have been borrowed by adults (aged 16 and over). To avoid charges, you can renew items twice, provided no-one else is waiting to borrow them. Renewals may be made by personal visit or telephone. Please quote your membership number, date of issue, author's name and title of the item.

Request Service

Please ask a member of staff if you cannot find what you require in the library. A free request service is available for books and spoken word, which enables you to request an item or items. For audio/visual items, eg. videos, DVDs, CDs, casssettes etc. a small fee of 60p per item is payable.

If we are unable to obtain a copy of the item from within our own library service, we can undertake an inter-library loan to borrow the item from another library service. There is a charge of £3.00 for this service.
