The Library Authority extends membership to persons who reside outside the administrative County of Surrey.
Membership is available to anyone whose residence or place of work is within the administrative County of Surrey or who is undergoing full-time education within the area.
Registration of members
A person must register as a member in order to obtain lending facilities and must undertake to observe the Terms and Conditions.
Children who have not reached 16 years of age must register with the consent of their parent or guardian, who are required to be responsible for items borrowed by the child and to pay any charges incurred.
Library cards
All items are borrowed on one computer library card. Full members may borrow up to 20 books and up to six items each of audio/visual materials and other items as the Library Authority shall determine. The total number of items on loan to a member is limited to 20. However additional items may be issued at the discretion of the Librarian.
Full library membership is removed if the card is not used to borrow items for two years.
Charges
Some audio/visual items are subject to a hire charge. Additional charges will be payable for each day that an item is kept on loan. Items may be recalled if reserved by another borrower.
Persons unable to use printed material are exempt from the payment of hire charges for audio books.
