Anyone who lives in the Christchurch City Council area can join Christchurch City Libraries for free. There are also non-city membership options for people living outside the Christchurch area.
To join, you need to bring ID and proof of your address into one of our libraries and speak to a staff member - they will assist you through the process and give you information about library services. If you can't visit the library to change your temporary membership to full membership, contact the library by ringing 941-7923 or emailing library@ccc.govt.nz. This will enable you to borrow items from the library as well as using our online resources.
Please see the Join the Library page for details of membership types, the membership form (including an online option) and conditions of membership.
