All visitors to our library are allowed to read books and periodicals on premises. However, the best way to use the full range of our library services is by becoming a library member. To join the library you must be at least 12 years old.

If you are above age 16 to obtain a library membership card you have to bring your ID card, and a recent photo, and you will be asked to fill in an application form and pay a membership fee.

If you are age 12 to 16, for your Young Reader's membership you will have to produce a parent's ID card, your own student card, a recent photograph and an application form  signed by one parent.
