How do I get a library card?

Bring identification that shows your name and current Muskoka address. If you do not have identification with your current local address, please bring a:

  • Utility or property tax bill
  • Mortgage or rental agreement
  • Financial or government benefits statement

Apply online!

Child

  • Yes! We want children between the ages of 0 and 12 to have their own library cards.
  • A parent or guardian will have to fill out a form or be present with identification to accept responsibility for all items borrowed on their child's card

Young Adult

  • If you are between the ages of 13-18 you will need to have identification. A current local student card will be acceptable.

  • Let the library know right away! You are responsible for all items borrowed on your card.

If you own property in Muskoka you can get a free card.

  • Bring in proof of ownership with your name and address on it and we can get you a card.
