Internet Access Card

Are you more interested in using our Public Computers and eResources? No problem. We have a card that will give you access to the Internet, word processing, and all our online databases at no cost.

Lost your Library Card?

It is very important that you let the Library know that your card is lost or stolen. You are responsible for all materials checked out on the card. When you report the card lost, we will inactivate it, thus protecting you from any unwanted charges. Replacement cards can be purchased for a $2 fee.

To apply for a Library card, you must visit the Check In desk with identification and proof of address. You will be required to complete an application form, which you may do ahead of time by clicking on the forms below and bringing it in with you. Applicants high-school aged and older should complete the Adult Application while applicants in Grade 8 or younger should complete the Juvenile Application.

Acceptable Identification

• Name identification (Driver's License, student card, other government issued identification, etc.)
• Proof of address (Driver's License, other government issued identification that includes your address, property tax receipts, recent mail, etc.)
• Customers without identification are eligible for an Internet Access card.

Create a PIN/Password

Upon registration, Library Staff will provide you with the opportunity to create a PIN to gain access to our online catalogue. The first time you login to the online catalogue, you will need your library card number and PIN. Once you've logged in, you may change your PIN to any combination of numbers and letters.

Card Expiry and Renewal

Library cards are valid for one year, with the only exception being the Monthly Internet Access Card. Library card renewals are handled at the Circulation Desk, with proper identification and proof of address.

Transfer of Privileges

It is possible to temporarily transfer borrowing privileges to another person. This is typically done in times of illness. These requests must be made in writing. A Temporary Transfer form is available at the Circulation Desk.
