Any resident of the town of Perth or the Townships of Drummond/North Elmsley and Tay Valley
is entitled to free membership in the Perth & District Union Public Library. If you are a summer resident who pays property taxes in any of those municipalities, you also qualify for free membership.
To apply for membership you need to bring proof of identity and proof of residency to the library and fill out an application form. Children under 14 accompanied by a parent may use that parent’s ID as proof of identity.
Special "Ready for Reading" library cards are available for children 0 - 6 years of age. Get your child his/her own library card to encourage a love of reading!
Non-Residents
All others may apply for a non-resident membership. The annual charge is $35 for adults and $15 for students. We also offer a non-resident summer rate from June 1 to September 30 for $20.
Replacement Fees
The replacement fees for lost cards are: $5 for an adult card and $2 for a child’s card.
