New beta website

In the coming months we will be moving Trafford's website over to this new (beta) site. Your feedback is welcome, helping us to improve and adapt to your needs.

Borrowing books

Part of: Join the library

Contents

Children and adults can borrow as many items as they like, with a maximum of four audio items. There is no charge for borrowing. 

Items are loaned for three weeks and can be renewed up to eight times.

Returning books

Books can be returned to any library. You do not have to take them back to the library you borrowed them from.

If you don't return your items on time, we will email you to remind you. If we don't have your email address, we will write to you.

Our self-service machines make it quick and easy to borrow or return items. If you are unsure how to use the machines or if there is a problem, speak to a member of staff.

Renewing books

Items can be renewed online or at any library. If another customer is waiting for the item, you can't renew and will be asked to return it.

Lost or damaged books

Do not worry if this happens, just let us know. You may be asked to pay a replacement charge, which will be the recommended retail price of the item.
