Join the Library

Membership of the libraries is free for all ratepayers and residents of Clutha District and to all other residents in Otago and Southland through reciprocal agreement.

Temporary membership is available for up to 3 months with a $10.00 non-refundable fee.

A library card will be issued upon enrolment. Please bring along the following documentation with you when joining:

• A completed membership form (also available in your local library)
• ID showing your name and signature, such as driver's licence, passport, or ID card (this is not required for a child membership).

If you lose the library card, you will need to purchase a replacement card at a cost of $2.
