Your Libraries

Selwyn Libraries operates four physical sites in Rolleston, Lincoln, Darfield and Leeston, and one mobile library service.

Library membership is free for all residents and ratepayers in the Selwyn District. Apply for your library card online and start using eResources immediately, then come into any of our branches to pick up your library card.

Use the 'My Account' feature to place holds, renew items and keep track of what you've had out before.

Enter your library card number and PIN/password to access your Selwyn Libraries member's account.

Download the free Selwyn Libraries mobile app for easy access to your library account - search for books, place holds, renew your items and more.

Nearly all library items are free to borrow and we don't charge for late returns. However, there are fees for some things, such as lost items, printing and photocopying, library interloans, and meeting room hire.

You need to have both your library card and PIN number to access your account online and our digital library services. If you've forgotten your PIN number, you can reset it here.

All our libraries have computers, scanners and printers available for you to use for free. You can use our free, secure WiFi 24/7 with your own device.

Skinny Jump is for those who don't have a broadband connection at home because cost is a barrier. Selwyn Libraries has teamed up with Digital Inclusion Alliance Aotearoa to offer Skinny Jump. Find out more about whether you could be eligible and how to register.

Interloans allow us to borrow items from other library networks on your behalf.

You can contact us through our online form or call us when the library is open. We can help with account queries, eResources, or general questions.
