Library services

Online library services are offered by Kent County Council (KCC).

You can perform many routine tasks such as checking opening times, booking a library PC, browsing our catalogue as well as reserving or renewing books online from home or work.

KCC’s Online Reference Library - providing access to encyclopedias, dictionaries, newspapers, magazines and other reference works - and its collection of eBooks and eAudiobooks combine to offer your very own virtual library accessible 24/7 from any internet-enabled computer.

Other interactive options include KCC’s events calendar, discussion forum and a directory of Kent clubs and societies.

Access to commercial databases, eBooks/eAudiobooks, the PC booking facility and your library account will require the use of a Kent library ticket number and/or PIN (or prior creation of an account) for out-of-library use. So if you live, work or study in Kent and are not already a member, why not join the library?

Please note: For licensing reasons, if you register online you will need to confirm your registration in a library before accessing online resources.
