Bank Holiday Closure: all libraries in Haringey will be closed on Monday 27 May 2013. They will reopen on Tuesday 28 May 2013.

How to join Haringey libraries

It is free to join Haringey Libraries and you only need to join once to use all of the libraries. Anyone living in and outside of Haringey is welcome to join, and registration can be done in three easy steps:

  1. Fill in the Library Membership form (PDF, 45KB) or pick one up and complete at any Haringey Library
  2. Bring in two original forms of identity - one showing your proof of address (for instance, driving licence, utility bill or bank statement), and another with proof of signature (eg passport or bank card). All ID must be valid and dated within three months (see identification section below for more details)
  3. Simply hand in at your local library and start using the services.

Unfortunately it is currently not possible to join online and you will need to wait 24 hours in order to log onto a People's Network computer.
