Join a library

Library catalogue Join online

To join a library you can sign up online or in person at any of our libraries (just bring proofs of identity and address with you). Membership gives you access to all of our libraries.

Anyone aged 16 or older can join free of charge as a full adult member provided they have suitable identification and a permanent UK address.

UK residents requiring temporary membership can join for the duration of their stay (minimum three weeks) by showing proof of a temporary address and identification.

Children under 16 can also get a membership but will require a signature from their parent or guardian.
