Borrowing

Borrow at any branch

• Use your library card to borrow at the Central Library, any branch, or the Mobile Library bus.

• There are Branch Libraries in Roslyn, Awapuni, Highbury and Ashhurst. 

Issue your own books

• Central Library has self-check units in the Fiction Zone, Non Fiction Zone, and Children's Zone.

• Follow screen instructions and get an issue slip showing the due dates.

Borrow up to 20 items

• This will be limited to three if you were unable to show proof of address when you joined.

• New Members become full members when they show proof of address.

• Loan periods vary with what is being borrowed.

Joining and borrowing is largely free

• There are charges for some Library services and types of items.

• Overdue fines encourage you to return your books on time.

• People who live outside the city boundaries join as paying Country Members.

Look after your library card

• You are responsible for your card and any charges incurred on it.
   
• If it is lost or stolen let us know as soon as possible so we can put a block on it.  This will stop anyone else being able to use it.
