Membership
How do I get a library card?
A free library card gets you access to thousands of books, movies, magazines, kits, games, toys, and more, 24/7 access to our digital library, and exclusive access to certain SDG Library programs and services.
Did we mention that it's totally free for all residents of SDG? We want you to use your card to take advantage of all of the resources that we have to offer.
What are you waiting for?
Membership benefits
At SDG Library, you can:
- Sign up for a free library card and open up a world of adventure for you and your family!
- Browse the shelves at any of our 15 branches and bring home books, movies, kits, and more (just don't forget to bring them back so others can borrow them too!).
- Book a Tech Help session to enhance your skills on your computer, tablet, ereader, or other device.
- Access our online library any time of day -- so when you find yourself awake at 3 a.m. and unable to fall back asleep, you can download an eBook or eAudiobook with the click of a button!
- Learn something new and meet new people in our community by joining us for one of our many upcoming events for all ages.
- Request items from other libraries, across the province through inter-library loans.
- It's true: Our full collection of materials, online resources, and (almost all) programs are completely free. What other place gives you so much with no cost to you?
