Lending Services - Join
& Use
Anyone can visit our libraries
and have a look around or use the reference services but
to borrow items & use the computers you need to be a member.
Who can join?
Anyone can!
Joining is easy! You can join at any age.
Membership forms are available from any Community Library or download from the links below.
Adults should complete the
form and return with two forms of I.D. to their Community Library. One
form of I.D. must contain your name and address and the other your signature. If you have a photographicdriving licence you are only required to bring it (rather than two forms of I.D.)
Young People's membership has to be guaranteed by a parent/guardian. The
parent/guardian must show ID if not a current member.
Each new member will receive
a library card that can be used in any Community Library.
