The Cobourg Public Library’s Mission is “to give all those who require and seek a forum for knowledge, information and educational recreation an opportunity to do so.”
Any resident of Cobourg and Hamilton Township is able to get a Library card. Any member of the Port Hope Public Library, with a valid library card, may also obtain a Cobourg Library card. You must show identification with your name and current address. (If you do not live in Cobourg or Hamilton Township or Port Hope you may purchase a membership)
You must show your library card to borrow materials.
Borrowing is STOPPED when charges on your card amount to $10.00 or greater.
Report lost or stolen cards immediately.
Anything signed out on your card is your responsibility.
Replacement cards cost $2.00.
Library cards expire annually. All charges must be cleared at this time. You will be asked to verify your current address at this time.
3 weeks: Books, Magazines, Talking Books, Juvenile Cassettes
1 week: Videos
Most items may be renewed twice if not on hold and as long as the membership card has not expired and is in good standing.
Renewals are only done during library hours.
Items can be renewed in person or over the phone at 905 372-9271.
To avoid fines, return all library materials on time. Items can be returned to the Access Desk when the Library is open. Materials may also be returned, 24 hours a day, through the book and audiovisual return drops on the parking lot side of the building. If the slots are full, do not leave your items. You are responsible for the safe return of library materials.
You may place items on hold if they are not on the shelf. Please contact staff at the Access Desk, either by phone at 905 372-9271, or in person, to place a hold for you.
