How to join a library
Anyone who lives or works in Hartlepool, or visits Hartlepool regularly, can become a library member.
Apply online through the link above, or you can visit any of our libraries with one form of identification (ID) - either printed or electronic - to sign up in person.
Valid forms of ID must include your current address such as a:
- driving licence
- Council Tax bill - less than 12 months old
- bank statement - less than three months old
- utility bill - less than three months old
- prescription - less than three months old
- payslip - less than three months old
Children under 17 do not need to provide ID but a parent or carer's signature is required on the library card.
