Joining the Library

Reader Registration System

We welcome Quakers and non-Quakers from all over the world who wish to use the Library.

All Library users

All Library users will have to complete a registration form on their first visit and must have read the Library Rules [Word: 184kb- new window] and Care and Handling of Library Materials [Word: 167kb - new window] guide.

If you are not a member or attender of Britain Yearly Meeting (BYM) you will also need to produce formal proof of identification showing your permanent address. This can be a driving licence, bank statement or a recent utilities bill. We are sorry but we will not be able to register you without such proof.

Members and attenders of BYM

Members or attenders of BYM will also need to fill in a registration form, but won't need to show proof of address. We need to include BYM members/attenders in the registration system for statistical purposes and so that we have a complete picture of who our users are and why you use the library.

Where you can obtain a registration form

Please print out a copy of the Reader Registration Form [PDF: 52.5kb - new window] and bring the completed and signed form with you when you visit the Library. We are sorry but we cannot accept completed forms sent by email. The registration form is also available in the Library.
