How to join the library

• Joining the library is easy and membership is free.
• Visit any Tameside Library and if you are listed on our postcode checker all we need to see is proof of your signature. If you are not listed then we need one proof of address and one proof of signature.
• If your circumstances mean you are unable to show us proof of address you can still join as a Light User.  This allows you to borrow 2 books and access the internet free of charge. Please ask our staff about becoming a light user when you visit.
• Under 16s must have parent or guardian consent to join the Library.
  You will be issued with a Library Key Card, please bring it every time you visit the library.
• Your library keycard can be used at any Tameside Library and is issued in accordance with the Library Byelaws; a copy of which is on display at all branches. When you sign your keycard you are agreeing to comply with these Byelaws.
