Free library card for children

Children get a library card for free. Annual fee for adults is 3.060 krónur. Card holders can borrow books (in many lanugages), magazines, CD’s, DVD’s, vinyl records and board games.

You do not need a library card or ask staff for a permission to hang out at the library – every one is welcome, always. You can read, play board games (the library has many games), play chess, do homework/remote work and many other things.

You can find books in various languages at the Library, for children and for adults. Books in Icelandic and English are at all eight locations.

Those who have a library card also have a free access to the E-library There you can find plenty of book titles and over 200 popular magazines.
