Getting your library card
You can borrow books and media at the library with no charge. To do this you will need a library card. To get a library card, you need to go to the library and apply for one. A photo ID is required. The library card is for your personal use only, and may not be used by other persons. You must bring your card to the library in order to borrow.
When you register for a library card, you will get a PIN code. You can use the code together with your card number to make reservations and renew your loans in the online catalogue
.
Children under the age of 15 need their parents or guardians permission to obtain a library card. The parents or guardians are responsible for the children's use of the card.
If you leave us your e-mail address, we will send you information about your reservations, new media etc. You can also get notifications when your loans are about to expire.
A lost card may be replaced for a fee of 10 SEK. Please report any loss of library cards to us, by phone 0476-552 20. We will block use of the card immediately.
