How to Get a Library Card

How to Get a Georgina Public Library Card

Visit any of our four branches to register for a library card. To sign up, bring one piece of identification showing your name and current address. Accepted forms of identification include:

Driver's licence
Property tax bill
Student card or proof of enrolment at an educational institution
Proof of employment (such as an employment letter or recent pay stub)

Library cards are free for anyone who lives, works, attends school, or pays property taxes in Georgina. We also have reciprocal borrowing agreements with:

If you borrow materials from one of our reciprocal partner libraries, they must be returned directly to that library. Georgina Public Library cannot return these materials on your behalf.

Additional information:

Children under 13 require a parent or guardian to co-sign their membership and accept responsibility for borrowed materials.
You must present your library card to borrow physical materials.
Library cards must be renewed every two years. At renewal, you will be asked to confirm your eligibility and update your contact information.

For complete details, please read our Membership Policy.

Non-Resident Memberships

If you do not live, work, attend school, or pay property taxes in Georgina or one of our reciprocal partner municipalities, you can purchase a non-resident membership:

$30 per person, per year
$50 per family, per year

Online Cards

An online library card provides access to our digital resources but does not allow you to borrow physical materials. Complete the online registration form to receive a temporary library card number by email. Online cards are valid for 90 days.

To upgrade to a full library card, simply visit any GPL branch with proof of eligibility.
