Conditions of membership

To borrow physical items you must present your library card.
You can have up to a maximum of 30 physical loans out at the same time.
To use the eLibrary or any online service you must use your library card number or borrower ID and PIN.
You must inform us if any of your personal details change. You can update your personal details by logging in to library account or in person in a library.
You can choose not to provide your date of birth if you are joining in person. However, you will be assigned as a general borrower, as we will not be able to confirm your eligibility for concessions and access to age limited services. You can always update your date of birth later if you change your mind. Your date of birth is confidential and will not be shared with any third parties without your consent.
Please report lost library cards to us immediately as you will be responsible for any items borrowed before the loss is reported
You agree to reimburse the library for the cost of any items lost or damaged whilst in your care. There are charges for the late return of items. Your membership will be automatically suspended if you have outstanding charges of £10 or more (£5 in the case of a child's membership).
All library services will be suspended until the debt is cleared in full.
Overdue notices are a courtesy reminder for your convenience. Email notices are free. Postal notices will incur a charge. See library charges and concessions
A reservation service is available for those items which are on order, on loan, available at another branch or at another of our partner library services. You can place your own reservations via the online catalogue or through staff in any library. There is a charge for this service. See library charges and concessions
Buckinghamshire Libraries (including our Community Library partners) are part of the SELMS Consortium. Your borrower record will be held on a shared database but your details will only be available to staff in another authority if you choose to borrow or reserve items from that authority.
All data is held strictly in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act 2018. View our Privacy Policy at: Privacy and libraries | Buckinghamshire Council
