Joining Cheshire East libraries
Anyone with a UK address can join Cheshire East libraries, get a library card (new or replacement), and start borrowing books for free.
Library membership is free, and you can use both libraries in Cheshire East libraries and Cheshire West and Chester libraries.
If you are not a member, you can read in the library and use some of the services, but you cannot borrow any books or other items.
Any questions? Just ask the library staff - they are there to help!
