How do I use my library card?
Bring your library card with you when visiting any library. If you forget your card, you will be asked to show a form of ID before you can borrow items.
When you borrow any items from the library, our colleagues will scan your library card and the items you have borrowed.
You can use your library card in any Hartlepool library to borrow and return items. We welcome returns to any Hartlepool library - it doesn’t have to be the same library you borrowed from*.
*Excluding the self-service community library in West View Advice and Resource Centre. Any books you borrow from this community operated library must be returned to this venue.
Lost or stolen library cards
If you lose your card, there is a charge to replace it, and you will be asked to show valid ID.
Please contact us if your personal details change either in person or online.
You are responsible for any items borrowed on your library card.
