Children
You're never too young to join the library.
Children under 13 years old
Parents or carers are able to register their children at any Derbyshire library. One form of identification or adult Derbyshire library card is all that they'll need. They can also add their child's details online. The new library card will then arrive through the post.
Young people aged 13 and over
If you're aged 13 or over, you can join and use the library yourself. Just visit any Derbyshire library with one form of identification which can include your b_line card.
You can also enter your details online and your new library card will arrive through the post.
