Your library card
Your library card will be issued immediately and can be used straight away.
Please remember to bring your card with you when you visit the library. All our libraries are self service. Your library card is needed every time you visit the library and want to access our services.
Customers should use our self service kiosks to borrow, renew or return items and pay library fees and charges. You can also get a digital version of your card using the My Library App.
You can use your card in all Hammersmith & Fulham libraries and any The Libraries Consortium library.
