Annual memberships start from $70 ($65 concession) – the price of a hardback or two paperbacks! Memberships include invitations to author talks, special functions (new members' evenings and book launches), book club, and free computer access and tea and coffee making facilities. Our library is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Members are invited to sit and read in our comfortable environment. Bring your own lunch.

Postal memberships are available - we post books to over 30 members who live both in country Victoria and interstate.

We accept Visa and Mastercard, EFTPOS, cheque or cash payments. Credit card memberships can be processed over the phone.

Please contact the library staff, or download a application form to arrange your membership.
