You can join the library by completing our online registration form. Alternatively, you’re welcome to visit the library in person to join.

The library is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week using your Trust swipe card. Library staff are available between 8.30am and 4.30pm, Monday- Friday.

To use the self-service machine, you will need your reader code (5-digit library card number) and PIN (4-digit number on the reverse of your library card). To loan books, use the touch screen to select ‘issue’. Then enter your reader code, select OK and then enter your PIN, this will sign you in to your account. Then place all books on the ‘pad’ of the self-service (all at once) wait for the books to display on screen and select done. Then select ‘print receipt’ – the receipt will state your return date.

Outside of staffed hours, including Bank Holidays and weekends, you can gain access using your NHS Trust swipe card. You will need to swipe in twice, once at the side entrance to the Education Centre and once to enter the library.
