Library Service Updates

Updated May 27/20
Premier Ford has announced Phase 1 of Ontario’s reopening plan, which listed services and industries that can resume some form of service as of May 19. Libraries were included in this list for curbside pickup.

At this time, we are working diligently on a plan for curbside pickup.  Details will be released when plans are finalized as the safety of staff and patrons remains our top priority.  The Library building remains closed until further notice.

Book Drop on Andrew Street Open

The Book Drop on Andrew Street is now open 24/7 for your returns.  (Please note: At this time, we are asking those who have Adventure Kits signed out to please keep them at home for the time being.)  Currently, this will be the only place you will be able to return items for quarantine purposes. Please note that all due dates are currently June 30^th but that date will be extended until we return to more normal operations.  As well, fines have been frozen so there is no rush to return any items you have at home.  We are not accepting donations at this time.

Please note - In addition to the closure of the building:

• Fines are not accumulating for materials that are currently on loan and due dates have been extended until June 30th, 2020.
• Holds pick-up will be extended until we reopen.  At this time, holds may not be placed from home through our catalogue.
• Library cards that are set to expire during this period have been extended.  
• Home Delivery Service is cancelled until further notice.

In the meantime,  we invite you to connect with us online!
