Library card and terms and conditions
Sign up for a library card and you'll have access to the library's wide range of media. You can borrow books, films, e-books - but you can also book computers, study rooms and search databases. Apply by filling out this online form and collect your new card by showing photo ID at our information desk.
Library card
A library card is free and in order to get one all you have to do is identify yourself with a photo ID. You are responsible for what is borrowed on the card. If you lose your card, a new one costs 30 SEK. A library card is personal and you should immediately cancel a lost card.
Read the terms and conditions below and then fill in the form on this page. Identify yourself at the information desk with a photo ID to get your card.
For children under 18 years of age, the guardian accepts the terms and conditions and is responsible for what is borrowed on the library card. There is a printed form to fill out at the libraries for guardians with children under 18.
How we handle your personal data
In order for you or your child to be able to get a library card, we need to process your or your child's personal data in the library data system. The legal basis for handling your personal data is that the processing is necessary to perform a task of general interest in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The purpose of keeping personal information is that we should be able to register where books and other media are when they are on loan and to be able to contact you if you have not returned items on time. Your data is not used in any context other than in the public libraries in Mölndal.
