Your library card is your key...

  • If you lose your card there is a $3.00 replacement fee

  • DVDs: new releases: 1 day
  • DVDs and videos (other): 7 days (1week)
Maximums
  • There is a 25 item borrowing limit
  • There is a 20 item hold/reserve limit
Late fees (open business days counted to a maximum fee per item of $5.00)
  • Books, magazines, music/audio: .25¢ per day for adults; children no charge
  • DVDs and Videos: $1.00 per day
Lost or damaged items
  • The original cost of the material plus a $5.00 processing fee
Renewing your library materials
  • Most items may be renewed twice
  • You may renew in the library, by phoning us or on-line through your library account
  • Please note if items are already overdue, the fines must be paid and library staff will renew them for you
  • Items borrowed from other Ontario libraries may be renewed by contacting library staff; these renewals are subject to the lending library’s policies
Reserving library items (in all cases we will call you to let you know the item is waiting for you)
  • If something you want is checked out at the moment or at one of our other branches, you may ask the library staff to place a hold on it for you; you may also place your own hold through your library account on our website
  • If an item is not owned by our library, we will make every effort to get it for you through other Southern Ontario libraries and our interlibrary loan services

Please Note: Book drops are available at all branches.
