Digital Certificate help

Need help setting up your COVID-19 Digital Certificate? We’ve prepared some guides for you to read or watch. We’re also holding a step-by-step online help session on Wednesday 27 October, where you can get help from our friendly tech team.

Printing your certificate

We offer a Print & Collect service. You can send us your digital certificate and organise to have it printed and ready to collect when you arrive at the library.

‌

Click & Collect continues

If you are unable to enter the library for any reason, you can still access our collections via Click & Collect. Browse, reserve, and arrange collection through the Your Library ERL app, or just call your local library.
