Join the library
Joining the library is free, and as a library member you’re welcome to use any library in Norfolk.
You can join Norfolk libraries if you live, work or study in Norfolk or close to a Norfolk library. If you study here use your term-time address as your main contact address.
Once you've filled in the online form, your membership card will be posted to you within 7 to 10 days.
If you wish to apply for a group membership, contact your local library.
When you submit your joining form you agree to the library conditions of use and to be responsible for all items borrowed from the library. Our Data Protection Policy explains how we use information that you give us.
You will receive a temporary borrower number so that you can reserve items for collection when you have your new card. Note that this does not enable you to borrow ebooks or make PC bookings immediately.
If you are already a member, or if you have joined before but not used us in the last 3 years, you do not have to fill in this form to carry on using your library.
If your membership has lapsed, go to your local library where staff will check and update your personal information. We are currently unable to renew your membership online.
Why your card expires every three years
Your card will expire every three years to allow us to check that the information we hold about you is correct.
You will still be able to log in to your online account, but you will not be able to renew or reserve items or book a computer.
When this happens, simply contact us to be re-registered or change your address.
