About Library Membership & Borrowing
-
Library memberships are available free of charge to all residents and students of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry (excluding Cornwall). To become a member, simply present your proof of address and photo identification at any of our full service library branches in the Counties. Children and teens under the age of 16 require the permission of their parent/guardian. Membership cards expire annually and can be renewed upon payment of any outstanding late fees.
Fill out our online form or visit any of our branches in person.
-
Interlibrary Loan is a service through which the SDG Library patrons can borrow materials not available at our library from other libraries in the province to meet the information needs of the community.
-
If you contact your local library, branch staff can let you know if you have already been registered for an Interlibrary loan account or you can fill in the Interlibrary Loan Registration form. If you have received a new library card you will have to set up a new Interlibrary loan account.
-
Using the patron interface to INFO Ontario’s interlibrary loan network, library patrons can place their own Interlibrary Loan requests anytime from anywhere. You will need to register for this service and once registered you will be provided with a user ID and password.
Please see the User Guide to learn how to place your own requests for interlibrary loan items.
