Young People's Services.

All young people, from babies to teenagers are welcomed in Cumbria's libraries. 
How to Join

We have a vast range of books that you can borrow, from board books and pop up books for babies to teenage graphic and manga novels as well as a large range of non fiction books to help you with your homework and hobbies.

People under 19 can borrow up to 40 books and 6 talking books for free.

We also stock DVDs, CDs, which can all be hired for a weekly charge. Follow this link for charges

You can also use the computers in all our libraries for up to an hour a day for free. But remember if you are under 16 you will need your parent's permission - you can get a form for Mum or Dad to sign from the library.

As well as being somewhere to meet, a wide variety of activities take place in Cumbria libraries such as :

• Regular story and rhymetimes for the under 5's
• Holiday storytime and activity sessions
• Reading groups for different ages
• Summer Reading Challenge
• Homework clubs
