Get a library card
Library membership lets you borrow items from books, DVDs and magazines to our extensive Digital Library of ebooks, audiobooks, online learning and more.
Sign up for a library card online here. If you’re under eighteen, you’ll need to have a parent or guardian agree to be the “guarantor” for your card and come in with you when you first collect your card. Exceptions apply for older teens living independently.
You don’t need a library card to use the space or come to our events or programs. Feel free to drop in to have a look around, read and browse or study alone or with others.
