Accessing Your Library Account Online
Managing your library has never been easier! Your online account puts you in control, letting you search our catalogue, reserve items, and renew your loans — all from the comfort of home, at a time that suits you.
Renewing Books Online
You can renew most books online up to five times, as long as no other borrower has reserved a copy. Once you’ve reached your renewal limit, simply pop into your local library branch to renew in person — our staff will be happy to help.
Borrowing CDs & DVDs
Audio-visual items, including CDs and DVDs, are available to borrow for three weeks at a time. Please do keep an eye on your due date, as a late return charge will apply if items aren’t brought back on time.
