Join the Library

To make use of our services and facilities, you’ll need to become a library member.  Our membership form is available to download,  however it is not necessary as forms are available to complete when you arrive at the Library Enquiry Desk.  Just pop in with your NHS ID card and holder and we will attach your library barcode to the back, so there’s no need to carry two cards around

If you’d like a tour of the library or an explanation of our services, please ask, and we’ll be happy to provide one.
