Joining

Standard Membership

If you are a ratepayer or permanent resident of the Bundaberg Regional Council area, or adjoining Council areas, the library is a FREE service.

To join, verification of CURRENT RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS is required. (A PO Box is not acceptable, your ID must show a street address).

You must show at least 2 forms of personal identification that display your current address. Acceptable forms of identification are:

    * current rates notice
    * current electoral card
    * driver's licence
    * utility account (phone, electricity, gas)
    * pension card
    * health care card
    * rent receipt
    * bank statement

If you are under 18 you must be signed in by a parent or guardian. Your parent or guardian must either be a current member of the Library, or eligible to become a member of the Library.

Please note: Parents or guardians signing for a person under the age of 18 are responsible for the use of that membership card and any fines/costs on that card associated with overdues, lost items, and so on.

Security Deposit Membership

Visitors and those unable to provide the required identification are able to join the Library on a refundable security deposit.

Limits apply to the number of items which can be borrowed by security deposit members. See the Borrowing page for more information on borrowing limits.

We accept payment by cash or cheque only (no credit card or EFTPOS facilities are available). Your deposit is refunded by cash only.

You must present your receipt and have returned all items, plus your membership card, and paid any fines/charges, to receive your refund. As the refund must be signed for by the person whose name it is under, only the person who took out the membership is able to collect the refund.
