Currently you need to log in to be able to view our Yellow Sticker catalogue. Use the Forgot Password link to set up a password. For Login: use your library card number and for Email: use the email address we have on your library record. You need to input both of these! You will then receive an email link that enables you to create a password.
Alternatively, you can call into the library and one of our volunteers can set up your password for you.
Once logged in you can view all our catalogue. We suggest you use the Advanced Search option. Click on it and you will see all the different genres we stock. Select a genre, then click search, and a list of all the books in that genre appears. You can then browse the genre, just like you can browse the shelves in the library.
You can also reserve books you would like to read (place a hold), renew books you already have checked out and also suggest books you would like us to buy.
An alternative was to reserve books is by emailing ask@stanningtonlibrary.com or by phoning 0114 234 8732 during opening hours - remembering to let us know your library card number.
Friends of Stannington Library donate a regular amount either every month or every year by standing order.
(sorry but the session on 15 April has been cancelled)
10/04/26 - We have relocated our 3 Public Computers to our new Computer Corner - turn left as you enter the building. Call in or phone to book a session. This is free to members of the library. Non-members can also use the computers for a small charge.
The computers have been upgraded, and they now have the latest Microsoft Office applications on them as well as access to the Internet using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. There's also some software aimed at our younger library members: Scratch, Kodu and a few other fun programs.
You can print from the computers - A4 Black & White copies cost 10p. Colour, back to back and size A3 are available too - but these cost more.
We are very happy to accept donations of Books, DVDs, CDs, Video Games and Jigsaw Puzzles - if they are in good condition, so please keep us in mind when you are having a clear out. Some of the books donated are put on to our shelves. The jigsaws and some books are sold in the library. Any other donations are sold to online companies or at our pop-up shops or events. Excess donations are passed on to other charities, e.g. Books for Good Causes or Aspire.
NB: Donated books should be clean and unmarked. They should preferably have a bar code on the back, or an ISBN number inside. If you are unsure if they are suitable, please check with the front desk volunteers. Thank you.
