If you live, work or study in West Sussex you are welcome to join the library.

We aim to give a courteous and efficient service to all. Please help us to help you by remembering that:

• You may borrow up to 20 items and your membership card can be used in any West Sussex Library.
•  As long as items are not required by other customers, you may renew them for a further period by phone, post, the internet or in person at the library. Please quote your borrower number to do this and on all other correspondence.
• You will need your membership card with you if you want to borrow any item.
• You are responsible for all items borrowed on your membership card. Children under 14 years must have a guarantor.
• Your membership card is equivalent to a credit card to the Library Service. Keep it safe at all times and do not lend it to anyone else.
• If your membership card is lost or stolen, please notify the library as soon as possible, a charge may be made for a replacement.
• Although joining the library is free, charges will be incurred on items returned late. A replacement charge will be made for any items you lose, in addition to any outstanding overdue charges.
• Charges are made for the loan of adult audiobooks, CDs and DVDs. Details of all current charges are displayed in each library and in the Library FAQs.
• You should inform the library of any change of address as soon as possible.
