Yes. Anyone can become a member of State Library of Queensland. However, if you do want to borrow items from our collections, you will require parent/guardian approval.

If you are 16 years or older and a school student, you only need to provide your student identification card to borrow. 

If you are 15 years and younger, a signed parent/guardian consent form along with identification that includes the parent/guardian name and residential address is required before borrowing. Download a copy of the parent/guardian consent form. 

For TAFE or University students, two forms of identification is required. 

It's easy. If you are a State Library member and a Queensland resident, you can borrow from the Information Collection.  Visit us in person and show proof of address in Queensland.

If you are unable to visit us in person, you can request an item with your State Library membership via One Search.  Select Delivery to My Public Library as the pickup location and tell us the name of your Queensland public library in the comments section.
