Borrowing

Information about loan periods and overdue fines.

All books, magazines, and audiobooks may be borrowed for 3 weeks. DVDs, puzzles and board games  may be borrowed for 1 week. Reference materials may NOT leave the library.

There is no general limit on the number of items which may be borrowed. The Library may from time to time impose limits when there is a heavy demand for seasonal material or for categories in which there are limited holdings. If you have fines over $20.00 total, your borrowing privileges will be suspended until the fines are paid.

Borrowed materials may be renewed over the telephone, e-mail, or by your account online through our catalogue. If a reserve has been placed on any of the materials, renewals are not allowed. For more information, please contact the Library at (705) 639-2228.

Each borrower is responsible for all materials loaned on her/his card and will be billed for loss or damage. Parents/guardians are responsible for material selected and borrowed by their children.

The Library reserves the right to suspend borrowing privileges.
