Everyone knows that having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card... and here in Bolton we are lucky to have a terrific public library and museum on our doorstep!
Bolton Libraries and Museums operate the Central Library, Museum and Aquarium, as well as a range of site libraries across the borough. Membership of the Library is FREE! You can apply online or in person at a library.
Once you've joined the Library, you can borrow books, use computers and access a range of online resources from home.
