As prices continue to rise, we thought this was a good time to remind you that your library card is a fantastic value! It’s free to get a card, it’s free to borrow materials and there are no more overdue fines. Here’s a curated list of five things* that are free at the library, but cost you money everywhere else.
-
Research your family tree.
Access the full version of Ancestry.com for free while visiting the central library.
-
Learn another language.
Learning another language for school, work or travel? Try out Pronunciator on a laptop or mobile device.
-
Digitize VHS tapes.
What to do with those old VHS family movies? Borrow our free converter and make them into DVDs. (non-copyrighted content only)
-
Get past newspaper paywalls without a subscription.
Save yourself the cost of subscribing to the National Post, Globe and Mail or Wall Street Journal (plus hundreds of other papers) by logging into PressReader with your library card.
-
Print a resume.
Looking for work? We offer free printing/scanning/faxing for job-related documents. (You don’t even need a library card for this one!)
There’s much more available for free – pop in for a visit!
