How to join the library

When you apply online to join the library, you will receive an email with your online membership number and PIN.

Your membership number and PIN will give you access to our online services and allow you to borrow a limited number of books.

If you want to borrow more books, you can upgrade to full membership for free by bringing ID showing your name and full address in to your local library. You will then be given a membership card which enables you to borrow items and use the library computers.
