Reading for life promotes the benefits of reading at all stages of life, to provide opportunities, health, family happiness and overall enjoyment. 

New members will receive a Welcome Pack and the first 2000 children who join libraries across Doncaster will receive a free copy of The Ultimate Book Guide.

Free Library Services

It's free to join the library!

Talking books, Music CDs and DVDs can also be borrowed for a small charge.

Extra time will be charged at 1.00 per hour or part thereafter (under 16's and exempt borrowers excluded) 
There will be a small charge for printing.

Do you like to read, talk and socialise? There are a number of Readers' Groups based in libraries that meet every month to discuss a chosen book. Further details about the groups can be found through the "Readers' Groups" link on the left margin
