I'd like to register at the library.
Stress 'bi-blio-TE-ca'. 'Iscrivermi' = i-SCRI-ver-mi — reflexive infinitive.
Say this at the library reception desk when registering for a library card for the first time. You'll need to bring an ID document and proof of address.
'Iscrivermi' is the reflexive infinitive of 'iscrivere' (to register/enrol). You'll need 'un documento d'identità' (ID) and sometimes a utility bill ('bolletta') or residence certificate ('certificato di residenza') as proof of address.

Italian public libraries ('biblioteche comunali') are managed by local municipalities ('comuni') and are almost always free to join. Italy has over 12,000 public libraries, though their quality and hours vary considerably. Many Italian municipalities have digitised their catalogues and offer online reservation ('prenotazione online') of books.
