Library Membership Signup template

A library membership signup that handles the whole desk conversation in advance: contact details, date of birth for the right borrowing limits, home address, membership type, interests, whether the card is collected or digital, and a newsletter opt-in. Picking the under-16 membership reveals a guardian co-signature field that nobody else has to see.

When to use this template

A public library taking signups from its website so cards are ready to collect
A school or university library registering students at the start of term
A community or specialist collection — local history, law, a maker space — managing its own membership list
A library rolling out digital cards and wanting to know who wants one before printing plastic

Tips to get more from it

The membership question drives the logic: the guardian name field appears only for the under-16 option, so adults never see a question about who is co-signing for them.
The interests multi-select is quietly the most useful field here — filter the export by "Events and workshops" or "Local history archive" and you have a mailing list per program without asking a second time.
The borrowing rules are a statement field rather than a wall of text on the welcome screen, so members read them right before they finish. Replace the loan limits with your own before publishing.
The address field is structured, which makes checking service-area eligibility a sort rather than a read. The welcome screen also tells members to bring proof of address to the desk.

Questions people ask

Can under-16s sign up on their own?

The form collects a parent or guardian name for the under-16 membership type, revealed by a logic rule. Most libraries still ask the guardian to confirm at the desk when the card is collected — the form gathers the details, it does not replace that step.

Can we charge a membership fee through the form?

Yes, by adding a payment field connected to your own Stripe or PayPal account. Zunoform takes no cut, and publishing a form with a payment field requires the Pro plan at $14.99/mo.
