Libraries - how to joinJoining the library is a quick and easy process. When you have joined your local library you are entitled to use any library in the County using the same card. It is free to join the library and once you have, you can borrow books, CDs, DVDs and more. You may also use the internet free for half an hour every day.
Anyone is eligible to join the library in North Yorkshire, regardless of where they live. You don't need ID to access our basic service, but you will need it if you want to borrow CDs and DVDs. Please note, due to geographical restrictions placed on our eBooks service by publishers, eBooks membership is only available to customers who are living, working or studying in North Yorkshire.

After registering you will be sent an e-mail confirming your membership (please ignore the ID requirements in the e-mail). Alternatively you can visit a library and join in person. Its free, you don't need any ID and you don't need to fill in a form. Once you have joined your local library, you can use any of our libraries across North Yorkshire.
