What do I need to become a member?

 “You need to be a resident or ratepayer of the Tararua district. When you come in to complete the membership form, you will need to provide two forms of identification - one being something with your name and signature like a passport or drivers license, and the other being a letter with your printed [not hand written] name and address on it, like a power bill. You will also have to provide the name and address of an alternative contact ; someone who does not live at the same address as you.”

How do I log in to the online catalogue, so I can renew and reserve items?

“Go to the council website www.tararuadc.govt.nz, click on Libraries, then Online Catalogue. When you log in, the user name is your library card number (i.e. B zero zero etc).  Assuming you have your email registered with the library, click on the Forgotten Your Password link, and you’ll be emailed a random temporary password to get you started.  Or contact the library.”
