Rules of the Library
Library members agree to take responsibility for the materials borrowed on their library card and to abide by the rules and regulations of the issuing library.
Children's Section
Children under the age of 12 must be supervised by an adult while visiting the library.
Loan Period
Books, audiobooks, DVDs, and TV series are loaned for 3 weeks. DVDs are limited to 10 at a time and TV series are limited to 2 at a time.
Need more time? Renew your books through our online catalogue, email askus@pspl.ca,
or over the phone (705)746-9601. Please note that certain items may not be eligible for renewal.
We are fine-free!
Overdue fines will no longer be charged when items are returned. We ask that library items are returned as soon as you can, so others may have a chance to borrow them. Overdue donations are encouraged.
If library items are not returned after a period of time or are lost or damaged, replacement charges will still apply. Please do not write in library books. We will continue to send email reminder notifications about due dates. Please make sure your contact information is up-to-date.
Library items may be returned to the drop-box at the McMurray Street entrance 24 hours a day and we'll clear your account of all overdue fines, no questions asked!
