Library Cards

Online User Registration

An online access only membership is available to residents who do not require borrowing access to the physical collection, or whose patron account does not permit them to have access to borrowing physical items from the library.  Users can sign up online and receive a valid User ID via email. Under the current circumstances, the online user registration is valid for 60 days. This will allow our users to place holds on items and access our eResources. In order to pick up items on hold or to borrow items, patrons must obtain a physical card, if you don't already possess one, in order to borrow items.

Georgina Public Library (GPL) cards are free to anyone living, working, attending school, or paying taxes in Georgina or in one of the municipalities with which GPL has reciprocal borrowing agreements.
These libraries are:

• Aurora Public Library 
• Brock Township Public Library
• East Gwillimbury Public Library
• King Township Public Library
• Markham Public Library
• Newmarket Public Library
• Richmond Hill Public Library
• Vaughan Public Library
• Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library

Any materials borrowed from our reciprocol partners must be returned to that lending library.
Georgina Public Library is unable to return materials to those lending partners on your behalf.

How to get a Georgina Public Library (GPL) card

To get a GPL card, come to one of our three locations with proof that you are eligible for a library card. Options for proof include:

• a piece of identification that shows your current address (e.g. driver's licence)
• a property tax bill
• a student card or other proof of enrolment in an educational institution
• employment information (e.g. employment letter or pay stub)

If you do not live, work, or attend school in one of the above municipalities, you may purchase a non-resident membership for $30 per person or $50 per family, per year.

• Children under the age of 13 require a parent or guardian co-signer who assumes responsibility for library materials borrowed.
• Materials cannot be borrowed without your library card.
• To renew your card, every two years you will be asked to provide your proof of eligibility and update your contact information.
