When you join your local library you'll get a really cool library ticket and a membership pack. All you need to do to join the library is to pick up a form from your local library and write on it your name and stuff. You then need to get your parent or legal guardian to sign it. You can even join online!

When little babies and children under 5 join they get a lovely ticket with a bear on it. If you are 5 or older you get a ticket with me on it, ha! how cool is that!

You can borrow up to 8 books and 4 spoken word sets for three weeks. These can be renewed for a further three weeks. Remember, bringing things back on time will save you having to pay.

If there's something that you want, that you can't find on the shelf, just ask a member of staff and we may be able to reserve it for you (free of charge for books and spoken word). Why not check out the library catalogue for yourself?

If you're a teenager, you might like to try one of the books from our young adults collection. These books have gold stars on the spine (the bit you can see on the shelf, on the side of the book). Lots of adults like to read these as well. There are loads of titles to choose from and don't forget you can reserve them free of charge.

There are even spoken word sets for young adults which are free to borrow (and reserve) for three weeks.
