E-library - your account

To check the titles you borrowed from the library, you will need your library card number and PIN.

First sign into the E-library, then use the links under the 'Members' heading.

To view the list of ebooks and audiobooks you have checked out and download more titles, sign into the Ebooks and audiobooks website.

Summary

Your summary tells you how many titles you have on loan and warns you if any of them are overdue. It will also tell you if your family has any loans.

For details, click on ‘View titles and renew'.

Loans and renewals – full details

You will be given a list of titles currently on loan to you showing:

  • date they are due back
  • title and author
  • status – if they are overdue
  • pending charges – including fines and hire charges
  • renew option – if the title cannot be renewed, such as DVDs, it will be listed in a separate table explaining why it can't be renewed.

See our help page on renewing your library loans.

Family loans

Parents and carers responsible for the library cards of children under 16 can use the E-library to check and renew their loans as well.

First sign into your own membership details. You can check your family loans in two places:

  • Summary – lists all your cards and a summary of everyone's loans
  • Loans and renewals – click the children's names to see their loans.

Loan history

Your loan history tells you what you've borrowed and reserved in the last year.
