What can I borrow from the library?

Members of the library can borrow up to 14 items at a time.

Books

You can borrow up to 8 books for three weeks at a time. You don’t have to pay to borrow books, but don’t forget to bring them back by the due date, as a small charge is made for every day that they are late. To see our charges, please visit our Services and Charges page.

DVDs

Some of our libraries have DVD collections. If your local library does not have a DVD collection, you can still borrow DVDs as you can reserve an item and request that you pick it up at the library of your choice.

You can borrow up to 2 DVDs at one time.

DVDs cost £1.50 to borrow for one week.

Junior DVDs cost 75p to borrow for one week.

Music

Neath, Pontardawe and Port Talbot libraries have music CDs that you can borrow. They have classical, pop, country & western and jazz collections.

You can borrow up to 3 CDs at one time.

Music items cost 60p per item for three weeks.

Talking books

Most libraries have collections of talking books on tape or CDs.

You can borrow up to 2 talking books for up to 3 weeks. You have to pay 50 pence for each talking book borrowed. If you are registered as being visually impaired, you do not have to pay to borrow them.
