You’ll need to register for self service to use the library during unstaffed hours by talking to a member of staff at your branch.

Here’s how it works:

To enter the library while it’s unstaffed, scan your Vivacity card and type your PIN into the access point near the library entrance.

• Remember to take care of your library space while staff are away.
• Be mindful when entering the building. Don’t let anyone else enter without proper access.
• CCTV Cameras are in place for your peace of mind and safety.
• You will hear pre-recorded messages to let you know when staff are on site and when the library is due to close.

Please note: Under 16s are unable to register for self service (open+), but they are welcome to come in to the library during self service (open+) hours if accompanied by a parent or guardian.
