How to use the library

Inside a library

  • Renew your library items

    You can renew up to three times, unless your items have been requested by another borrower and renew overdue books but existing fines will still apply.

  • Library opening times and locations

    All libraries are closed Bank Holiday Mondays, Sundays immediately preceding Bank Holiday Mondays, and Good Friday.

  • Library catalogue

    Search and request books, CDs and DVDs.

  • Library account - login

    Log into your library account to view and renew your loans, make and check requests, change your PIN, and check your personal details.
