What Services are Currently Available at the Library

All branches are now open for curbside pick-up only. Please self-screen for COVID-19 symptoms before coming to the Library. If you’re feeling unwell or have any symptoms, please postpone your visit. 

Regular hours of operation are available at all branches. Hours of operation can be found at sdglibrary.ca/current-hours-locations#branches-location.

During this time of frequent change, we encourage you to stay connected with us on social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram), our website, or by contacting your local branch for the most current information and hours of operation.

Check out our re-opening plan for Steps 2 and 3!

Returning Items

If you’re returning items, please place them in the book returns outside the branch.

While overdue fines will not be charged during this time, it is still important to respect borrowing periods to ensure other patrons can access materials in a timely manner. Items that are overdue for 6-weeks or more will be considered lost. Borrowing privileges will be suspended and patrons will be charged to replace these items. Charges will be removed when the items are returned.
