Cards and Memberships

A Peterborough Public Library card allows you to borrow materials (some restrictions apply) from either the Main Library or the DelaFosse Branch of the library, as well as gives you access to many different library services online and in-house. Library cards are issued free of charge to:
  • people who live in and/or pay property or business taxes to the City of Peterborough
  • students attending a local college or university
  • institutions or businesses which operate within the city limits

Library cards are also available for non-taxpayers for a fee.  For more details about fees, membership requirements, replacing lost/damaged cards, and granting permission for other people to use your card, please go to the Memberships and Borrowing section of this website.
