Using the Library

Choosing your books

Our library catalogue is online and anyone can search it. You can look for a particular title or author, browse for books in popular categories (mysteries, for example), and find out about new titles.woman wearing headphones

If you don’t want to pick each book yourself, our system can select books automatically for you. Contact Reader Services to set up automatic selection.
 
The library’s computer system will send you books according to the schedule you choose. You can still request specific books any time.
 

How to return your books

Return books promptly to ensure that you receive new books regularly. Our DAISY books on CD, our braille books and our described movies are sent to you by mail post-free, and you return them the same way.
 

Books on CD

Braille books and described videos

Braille books and descriptive videos are sent in bags, with a paper address card with your name and address on one side, and the CNIB return address on the other. The hole in the card is in the lower right corner when you return the items.
 
To return a braille book or movie, place it back in its bag, flip the card over, and put it back in the mail.
