Sign up online to become a library member
If you are already a full member of Swansea Libraries, you do not need to register again to access all our online resources.
When you register, we can check our database on the basis of the information provided, to ensure as best we can that we do not hold any previous registrations and therefore avoid duplicate memberships.
After completing the online form you will receive a welcome message containing your temporary library number and confirming your PIN. You will need this information to access your account.
You will then need to visit your chosen library with your temporary library number and one proof of identity which shows your name and address (for example a driver's licence, bank statement or utility bill) to receive your permanent library number and card which will give you full membership. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
You can also join in person by visiting any library in Swansea with proof of identity as described above.
