Membership & Services
Becoming a library member is easy! Just pop into one of our branches and ask our staff for a Library Membership Form. We ask you to provide some form of identification which includes your name and address, such as a valid Driver's Licence, Health Care Card or Utilities Bill etc.
Just keep in mind if you are under 18 years you must have a Membership Form completed and signed by a parent or guardian.
To become a member you must agree to the following...
- Members agree to pay replacement costs for any lost, damaged or non-returned items issued to them.
- Members understand that items borrowed must not be used to infringe copyright.
- Members agree to undertake to inform the library of any change of address, phone number and email.
- Members agree to pay all fines or costs associated with the retrieval of overdue materials issued in their name or in the name of the persons for whom they are guarantor.
Playford Libraries are also a part of SA's One Card Network. If you are a member of another SA Public Library on One Card we invite you to browse and borrow from our collection. However if you are a member of another library and recently moved into the Playford area, we encourage you to let staff know so we can update your account details on our state wide database.

The nitty gritty...
Renewing your items
All items borrowed from the Library can be renewed twice as long as there are no other people waiting to borrow the item. The renewal period is the same as the original loan period. (E.g. a 4 week item can be renewed for a further 4 weeks).
Items can be renewed by coming into the Library and talking to staff, over the phone (8256 0334), by logging into your account through our online catalogue and via our iPhone & Android App 'Bookmyne'.
Returning your items
You can return your items back to any Playford Library (Elizabeth or Munno Para) or to any SA Public Library on the One Card Network. Your items will be transferred back to the Playford Library Service for your convenience.
We also have an afterhours return chute outside our Munno Para Library branch. Just keep in mind our chute is only open at times the library is closed.
If you think that your will not be able to return your items on time, please feel free to contact us or use the online catalogue or App to extend the loan, as detailed above.
If you return an item overdue you will be asked to pay a 50c fine per item before you will be able to borrow again.
