If you have not finished with the materials, you may renew them (provided no one else is waiting) through the account tool on our Online Catalogue, by phone, or email.

Connecting to our wireless network should be automatic but issues can arise. Please check the following before consulting library staff:

1) Check to see that your wireless is on.

2) Confirm that Tweed Public Library is listed in your available networks.

3) Let your system run Troubleshoot diagnostics and make note of any error messages.

4) Try turning it on and off again.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, Library staff will attempt to connect you however, they can not offer in depth technical support.

Library cards are available for any age, however, our suggestion is to wait until your child is old enough to recognize the value of their very own library card.

Children are often quite excited by their first card, and if they are able to "sign" the card, it makes a lovely keepsake.

New Patron restrictions of 3 items (only one movie) will be in effect for 6 months.
