Joining
How to join
Everyone is welcome to join the library and it’s free! You can join online, or by filling in an application form at your local library.
If you'd rather join in person, you can visit your local library and a member of staff will help you to complete an application form. You'll need to supply proof of name and address (for example, a driving licence, utility bill, bank statement or letter from an official authority/organisation). Under 13s will need someone over 18 to sign their form.

Once you receive your library card, you can:
- borrow books or talking books from any library in Walsall
- get free access to computers and the internet

Borrowing
You can borrow up to 15 items at a time. Most books and CDs are loaned for 4 weeks.
