Library Frequently Asked Questions

How do I join the library?

You can join online or in person at any Borough library; to borrow audio visual items, you need to show us proof of your address on a current bank statement, utility bill, driving licence or medical card.

If you join online, and live in the Borough, we will send out your membership card.
If you live out of the Borough, please specify which library you would like to collect your membership card from.

There are eleven libraries, five sites visited by the container library and the mobile library is for public use and offers a Home Library service.
