Join the Library

If you're not a library member, then you're missing out!

For instance, did you know that membership entitles you to borrow from Westport and Reefton libraries with more than 31,000 items in their collection. As well as being able to borrow up to 30 items at a time you also can make use of lots of the other services we offer.

Membership of the libraries is free for all ratepayers and residents of Buller District. Children and youth under 18 years of age need their parent or guardian's approval to join.

To join the library please print off the appropriate application form below.

 If you under 18 years

A library card will be issued upon enrolment. Please bring along the following documentation with you when joining:

• Photo ID or Id showing your name and signature, such as valid Driver's Licence, Passport, Student ID or Community Card
• A document confirming your address, eg. a bank statement, phone or power bill, tenant agreement or your propery rates notice

Your card is very important and you should notify your library immediately if it is lost or stolen.

Remember, let us know if your contact details change, and please don't let others borrow your card - you remain responsible for all charges incured!

If you lose the library card, you will need to purchase a replacement card at a cost of $5.
