New Membership Cards!

This February, all new child members (ages 0-12) will be able to choose one of six new limited-edition library membership cards designed by local artists. 

 

They will also be able to choose from three designs of free library bags filled with goodies including pencils, book-shaped eraser, magnetic bookmark and maze pen. 

Passport booklets with fun activities and a challenge to collect stamps for visiting library locations or doing things around the library like borrowing books, drawing, finding things or attending an event, is available to all children.

Completing the challenge means you can enter a draw to WIN awesome LEGO prizes!

 

Did you know?

You can manage multiple cards by linking accounts on the YPRL app? It’s easy!  All your family's library cards in one place.

Explore the app yourself or let a library staff member show you how.

Parents and guardians! It’s time for your child to have their own Library Card! Let's support their learning, independence and sense of belonging. 

It will also encourage a lifelong love of reading, build their confidence and responsibility and give them ownership of their reading and learning.
