I will talk to one of the library staff there about how to become a member of the library.

I will complete a form. I will write my name, address, date of birth, telephone number and email address and sign it.

I will show them identification. This can be a driving licence, bank statement, or household bill that shows my current address.

The library staff will give me a library card and a PIN.
