These range from discounts on local attractions, travel, restaurants and shops to free access to magazines, books and other online services.
Library card holders can get 20% discount on Hovertravel tickets, 20% off 'All-Attraction' tickets to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, 25% discount off Spinnaker Tower entry and £2 off standard admission to the Blue Reef Aquarium.

You can also choose from a supply of eBooks and audiobooks, access online resources such as the Oxford Dictionary and Britannica Online Encyclopaedia and use them to borrow and return books in any of the ten libraries across the city.
