You will be issued with a membership card and is used to access our libraries. 

The date on the card as shown above is the expiry date for your membership.

Please note that your physical membership card is required to gain access our libraries - we are unable to accept digital copies of this for entry and exit to the library and visitors passes are unavailable for this category of membership.  

Your Library Account keeps track of your loans and requests.
