Our junior library is a bright and comfortable space where you can enjoy choosing stuff to borrow. If you just want to hang out that’s great too – stay and enjoy a good read on one of our very comfy sofas.
How do I join?
The great news is that it’s FREE and only takes a couple of minutes. Just drop in and ask at the desk. We’ll take a few details; your name, date of birth, address and contact details.
You’ll be able to choose your own library membership card and a PIN number that’ll let you manage your account online and use the library’s public computers.
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?
Just choose the books you want to read and use your library card to check them out at one of our touchscreen self-service kiosks. You can keep your books for up to three weeks. The friendly kiosk will even print you an artistic (not) paper receipt with their return due date if you want one. Hey, start a receipt collection!
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 is completely free if you always bring your books back on time. Asking us to order in a book that we don’t have on our shelves is also free.
Books that are late back gather a fee of 15p a day for the first week they are overdue. Don’t feel awkward about fees. We won’t give you a hard time about them because we’re a charity and fees help to keep us open.
Just 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 books for teenagers and young adults (under 18s) with 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.
