Joining the library

Joining the library is free and it's easy to do. Simply complete a membership form at your local library, or submit the online version below.

You need to provide one piece of identification, which can be a passport, a driving licence or a utility bill or bank statement with your full postal address.

If you qualify for a concession on library services, you'll also need to provide proof of your status, such as a pension book.

When your enrolment is complete, you'll be issued with a card which will allow you to borrow straight away. You can use your card at any of our libraries in East Renfrewshire. If you lose it, there is a £1.50 replacement charge.
