Joining the Library

 

If you wish to gain access to the Reading Rooms to consult the Library's collections, you must have a valid reader's ticket.

 

To obtain a reader's ticket, please register online.

 

As well as being the first step towards obtaining a full reader's ticket, registering online allows access to the Library's External Resources, which are resources the Library subscribes to. This is possible through funding from the Welsh Assembly Government, and therefore to gain access, you must have an address in Wales or a Welsh postcode.

Further information can be found on our Reader's Tickets page.
