Libraries are for everyone! - You're never too young to join and it's free!
You can download an application form here - your parent or guardian will need to sign it, or alternatively you can call into the library and ask for a membership form. Take the signed completed form along to your local library and you will be given your library key card.
There are all sorts of books in the library
You can borrow up to eight books, and keep them for up to four weeks. Bring them back on or before the date stamped in the book. You can have your books stamped again if nobody else wants them. You won't have to pay fines if the books are returned to the library late - but don't forget other people may want to read them.
Cassettes and CD's are also available - you have to pay to borrow these except story tapes for very young children which are free.
Some libraries have computers in their children's sections on which you can book time in 30 minute slots. All libraries have computer learning facilities that children can use. At most libraries there is a selection of CD ROMs such as Encarta and The Way Things Work, to help with study and homework. Children can also access the Internet subject to signed permission from a parent or guardian and other safeguards. Computer sessions can be booked by asking at the library or telephoning. You will need your Library card. Printouts cost enter amount per sheet.
Activities take place throughout the year - usually around school holiday times. Look out for storytimes, crafts, arts workshops, quizzes, competitions, etc.
