How can I join Lancashire libraries?

You can join at any of our libraries or online by completing this form.

You will need to provide the following information:

Name
Local library
Date of birth
Address
Telephone number and/or email address (so we can contact you about reservations and overdue items)

Anyone residing in the UK may join Lancashire's library service, however our eBook downloads and access to subscription resources are limited to Lancashire residents.

If you are under 16 you can join the library by yourself, we will send your parent/carer a letter to tell them about the services you are entitled to.

You will be given a library card and a PIN, so you can manage your library account online (renew or reserve books, etc.) and access our digital services (eBook, eAudio, eMagazine, etc.)
