How do I join?

It's free and anyone can join. Ask Library Staff for a membership form. If you're under 16 complete your details and ask your parent or guardian to sign and return it. They need to take it to the library with something showing where they live, for example a driving license or payment book. You will be given your own library card that lets you take out 10 items from any of our libraries. You also need the card number and PIN to access the computers.

What happens if I bring it back late or lose it?

If you are under 16 you will not be fined for bringing things back late. If you are over 16 you will have to pay a small charge. If you lose items please tell the librarian as soon as possible. You may have to pay towards the cost of replacing them.

What do I do if I lose my card?

How do I find out what you've got and where it is?
