'Out of Towner'/Annual Subscription
These membership options enable NZ residents* who live outside the Wellington City area to use the services provided by Wellington City Libraries.
- If you only want to borrow a few items from the library annually we recommend the Out of Towner Membership.
- If you are likely to borrow from the library frequently we recommend the Annual Subscription Membership.
Subscription Fees:
Out of Towner: Free to register, but $2 charge on all items borrowed. This charge is added to any lending fee e.g. it would cost $3 to borrow a CD - lending fee of $1 + Out of Towner Charge $2 = $3
Annual Subscription: $100 per annum. This one-off fee allows you and your family to use all the resources of our Libraries and websites (including mygateway.info) , including having full borrowing privileges - there is no extra charge added to the usual fees for borrowing rental items, eg. CDs and videotapes.
