GET YOUR HANDS ON A LOYALTY CARD

From 1st October Cumbria Libraries are running a special library promotion just for our younger readers.

If you are aged 10 or under pick up one of our library loyalty cards next time you visit your library. Every time you borrow something from the library we will stamp your loyalty card. Collect six stamps, pop your card into the special box and we will enter you into our prize draw.

You could win £50 of vouchers.

You can enter as many times as you like - the more you borrow the more chances you have to win, so get reading! There will be two opportunities to win £50 worth of vouchers during this promotion, December 2009 and March 2010.

All young people, from babies to teenagers are welcomed in Cumbria's libraries.
How to Join

We have a vast range of books that you can borrow, from board books and pop up books for babies to teenage graphic and manga novels as well as a large range of non fiction books to help you with your homework and hobbies.

People under 19 can borrow up to 40 books and 6 talking books for free.

We also stock DVDs, CDs, which can all be hired for a weekly charge. Follow this link for charges

You can also use the computers in all our libraries for up to an hour a day for free. But remember if you are under 16 you will need your parent's permission - you can get a form for Mum or Dad to sign from the library.
