Libraries and leisure

Young Carers

Does your child help to look after you in your home? If so, they can have a special deal on their library card.

Young carers can:

Borrow up to 24 items. This includes an extra allowance for the person they're caring for

Keep their items for up to 6 weeks

Borrow music recordings and talking books free of charge

Reserve books free of charge

And there's no overdue charges on books, talking books or music recordings.


Your local library can give you more information about library cards for young carers.
