What do I do if I lose my library card?

If you have lost your Bracebridge Library card, please call the library so we can place a temporary hold on your account to prevent further borrowing. Afterwards, you can get a replacement card for $3 by visiting the library in person.

New books and new audiobooks: 5

No, as of March 2023, the Bracebridge Library eliminated overdue fines. However, you will be charged the replacement cost plus the processing fee for lost or damaged items. If fees exceed $10.00, lending privileges will be suspended.

An item is considered lost if it’s out for an extended period past its final due date. At that point, the item(s) will not be accepted back into the collection.

What do I do if you do not have the book I am looking for?

If we do not have the book you are looking for, we can try to bring it in through an interlibrary loan, or you can make a suggestion to add it to our collection.

What is the Cool Things to Borrow collection?

The Bracebridge Library offers a variety of unique collections beyond just books! The Cool Things to Borrow collection includes items like cake pans, home maintenance & safety devices, a karaoke machine, musical instruments, and vehicle maintenance tools.

You can browse our online catalogue to see what’s available.

How do I register for programs?

Anyone with a valid Bracebridge Library card may register for one of the free programs offered at the library!

Visit the programs and events calendar to see what is coming up for adults, tweens/teens, and children. When you find a program you want to register for, you will need to enter your library card and PIN. If done correctly, a message will be sent to the email connected to the library card confirming that you have registered.

If a program is full, you can join the waitlist. Patrons on the waitlist are moved into the program as soon as enough spots become available. Joining the waitlist also lets us know a program is popular, so we may run it again.

Can I use the internet at the library?

Of course! We have public access computers that you can use. If you are just visiting the area temporarily, guest passes are available at the Information Desk.

Unlimited Wi-Fi is also available while inside the library.

Can I print at the library?

It costs 20 cents per page for single-sided black and white or 30 cents per page for double-sided. If you need to print in colour, it costs 50 cents per page for single-sided and $1.00 for double-sided.
