Library cards are available free of charge to any resident or property owner of the City of Port Colborne. Two pieces of valid identification are required, one of which must contain the applicant's name and current address.

Memberships are also free for non-residents who reside in the Southern Ontario Library Service Escarpment Service Area and who present two pieces of valid identification at time of registration. Four-month temporary memberships (at a cost of $10.00) are available to non-residents whose permanent address is outside the Escarpment area.

Parents/legal guardians must be present at time of registration of a child (under 16 years of age) and are responsible for all items borrowed on the child's card.

Please notify the library of any change in address or telephone number. Lost or stolen cards must be reported to the library immediately. A $2.00 charge for replacement cards applies.

Borrowing Materials -- Library cards must be presented each time you borrow materials. The number of items borrowed on a specific subject may be restricted at the discretion of the library.

Returning Materials -- Books may be returned to any library in the Niagara Peninsula. Audio-visual equipment, DVDs, videos, music CDs, spoken word CDs, and interlibrary loans must be returned to the Port Colborne Public Library. A night-drop is located at the Elgin St. side of the Library to be used when the Library is closed.

Renewing Materials -- Materials may be renewed, either in person or by phone, unless holds or other restrictions apply. DVDs and videos may not be renewed by phone.
