Use our eBooks, eAudiobooks and eMagazines – even if you aren’t a library member!

Temporary online membership

 During this difficult time we wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to access our free online books, audiobooks and magazines, without the need to visit the library to sign up.


For the time being, we’ve introduced a web form that gives you a temporary,  online-only membership for 4 months.

Can I apply for online membership?

  • If you are not already a member and you live, work or regularly visit the Falkirk area.
  • If you are are already a member, but have lost your library card and do not know your membership number.

How to complete your temporary online membership

Fill in our short online form.

When your form is complete a member of our team will email you within one working day. 

In the email we’ll tell you:

  • Your library card number
  • The expiration date of your membership 
  • How to quickly sign up for our RB Digital service, which offers free downloads of eBooks, eAudiobooks and eMagazines

Want to extend your online membership?

If you wish to keep your access to libraries online services in the future, please visit a library before your temporary online membership expires. When you present one form of ID you’ll be registered as a full library member.  ID can be a driving license, bill or official letter. Keep an eye on the catalogue, Falkirk Community Trust website and social media for libraries reopening information.

Already a member and have your library card?
If you’re already a member and you know your library card number you do not need to apply for online membership. You can go ahead and sign up for our RB Digital service and start downloading books, audiobooks and magazines.
