Our junior library is a bright, modern and comfortable place where you can enjoy a fantastic choice of junior fiction and non-fiction books. Browse and borrow, or chill with a good read on one of our comfy sofas.
How do I join?

It’s FREE and only takes a couple of minutes. Just drop in and ask at the desk.
You’ll be able to choose your own library membership card and a 4-number PIN. You can manage your account online and use the library’s public computers free.
You can also join online here. You’ll then just need to pop into the library to collect your membership card.
How Does it Work?
Choose the books you want to read and use your library card to check them out at one of our self-service kiosks. You can keep your books for up to three weeks. The kiosk will even print an artistic (not) paper receipt with their return due date if you want one.
To return your books just check them back in at the kiosk and put them on the returns trolley.
You can also manage your library account online, renew loans and use a range of FREE county library goodies – eBooks, eAudio books and eMagazines – here.
What Does it Cost?
Using the library costs nothing if you always bring your books back before the end of their three-week loan period. If you can’t get to the library you can renew your loans online or by giving us a call.
If we don’t have that special book you want to read on our shelves you can ask us to get it for you. This service is also free.

Books that are late back gather a small daily fee for the first week they are overdue. Please don’t ever feel awkward about fees. We won’t give you a hard time about them – we’re a charity and fees help to keep us open.
Pay anything you owe when you bring your books back by feeding coins into the always-cheerful self-service kiosks. Rather disappointingly, they don’t burp after a good coin-based takeaway.
Teenagers & young adults

You’ll find fiction books for teenagers and young adults (under 18s) among the general adult fiction collection. They’re marked with a funky orange dot at the foot of their spines and are very easy to pick out.
