Once you’ve submitted your join online form, you’ll be able to access some of our online resources, but to get full value from your card you need to validate your membership by visiting your local library and presenting photographic identification (who you are) and proof of where you live.
Acceptable forms of photographic ID include a passport; driver's licence; student card; young person's Garda age card ID; a staff ID card issued by an employer.
Acceptable forms of recent (within last six months) proof of current address include a recent bill for gas; electricity; telephone, or mobile phone; a bank statement.
If you are under 18 years of age, you’ll need to bring your parent/guardian to the library with you so that they can accept the terms and conditions.
