I use this website all the time and just tried to access it and it says that you now have to visit a Bedfordshire Librabry to fill out a form.

Don't live anywhere near there. Are there any other places I can use?

Thanks

You can use the Bedfordshire site - you don't have to live there - I live in the East Midlands but use the |Bedfordshire Library site.

Just fill in the form on-line and I seem to remember they send you a pin no etc via e-mail quite quicly.

Let me know if you need any further info.

Oh !!!!!!! - I see what you mean !

'Sugar them then !!!'

Join Manchester Library.

www.manchester.gov.uk/libraries.

Again, you have to register - they send your PIN out by post so it takes a few days but, hey !! - If Bedford don't want us any more, what's a few days wait. ?

Hi Michael,

Do you think all libraries are the same then as I can't seen to find where to join on the Mancester site?

Thanks Michael,

I have just phoned my own Borough library and they don't offer that service.

It seems strange that if I travel to Bedfordshire, even though I don't live there, I can join. I'll have to try and find somewhere a bit nearer

Oh well....I used that site such a lot as well.

Thanks

Linda

My own Borough doesn't offer this but an adjacent one does. I went and registered with them, they issued me a library card - the card number allows access to Times etc.

Try calling an adjcent borough library
