The good stuff....

  • Library membership is absolutely free for everyone.
  • We will give you your very own membership card which opens the door to the many services we offer.
  • You can borrow books for free. There is a small charge for hiring some other items like DVDs and CDs (where available).
  • You can renew any borrowed items, manage your account and view the on-line catalogue 24 hours a day.
  • You can use your membership card at, and also return items to, any Kirklees Library and Information Centre.
  • If you can't find what you are looking for in one location, for a small charge, we'll do our best to get it for you.
  • You can use a Library and Information Centre computer absolutely free, we'll even help you if you haven't used one before.
  • Got a question about anything at all? We provide information on council services and a whole lot more.

and the boring stuff

  • Sometimes we may ask you to produce ID.
  • If you are under 16 you will need an adult to agree your membership and computer use.
  • Please take care of your card as anything issued on it becomes your responsibility and you may be asked to pay for a replacement if the card or items are lost.
  • Help us to help you by letting us know if you change your name, address or telephone number.
  • Sorry, but we do make a charge for overdue, damaged or lost items (with certain exceptions) so, we ask that you return your items promptly and in good condition.
  • At busy times, to be fair to everyone, we may have to limit the length of time you can use a computer.
  • To help make the Library and Information Centres a pleasant experience for all, we ask you to respect the needs of other service users and our staff.
