Do I need to be a member to access the online library?

Anyone can use the online library to search nearly two-hundred-thousand items. However, to access the full range of services listed here, you need to be a library member and have your own PIN (Personal Identification Number) to avoid anyone else accessing your account.

Simply email [email protected] with your name, address and postcode and we will send you a membership number and pin.

If you would like full membership to access all the libraries have to offer you will also need to drop into your local branch with identification that proves your name and address.

eBooks and eAudiobooks Service

The free eBooks and  eAudiobooks borrowing service offers a wide range of fiction and non-fiction titles for adults, teenagers and children. Once you have chosen a title, you can access it online anytime, anywhere with internet access.

Or, you can download up to 10 eBooks and/ or eAudiobooks onto your computer, tablet or smartphone.

They can be renewed, but otherwise the download expires after 21 days - so eTitles never get overdue!

All you need to borrow eBooks or eAudiobooks is a library membership number and PIN. Email [email protected] with your name, address and postcode and we will send you your membership details or drop into your local branch.

You can browse available titles and make your selection from our online ebooks.
