Joining Instructions

Join Online to join the library now.

You will receive a temporary membership number which you can use to borrow and download eBooks, eAudiobooks and eMagazines straightaway.

We’ll send you an email with your new library number. (Please check your Junk mail folder if this doesn’t arrive).

Call into any library with some form of ID (eg bank card or drivers licence) to upgrade to full membership, so you can borrow books and audiobooks on CD from any of our branch libraries.

Or, call into any library and we can join you or your child straight away.

A parent or guardian needs to apply on behalf of anyone under the age of 14.

We’ll usually need to see some form of ID for full membership – eg bank card or drivers licence – but please get in touch if that’s a problem for you.
