By default, your PIN is set to the last four digits of your phone number. If that doesn't work, call or email your local branch or visit us in person and we can help reset your password.

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 fees.

As of June 25, 2024 we are now "Fines Fee". This means you will no longer be charged overdue fines for items that are returned after the original due date. After 21 days of being overdue items will be declared "Lost" and your library account will be charged with the replacement cost of the item as well as a processing fee ($5). If lost items are returned, within a year, are in good condition, and can be added back into the collection the replacement charges will be waived.

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.
SDG Library cards are FREE to all who live, work, own property, or go to school in the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (exclusive of Cornwall).
