Your library card gives you access to a wide variety of materials and services. Getting a library card is easy!

Borrowing

Enjoy access to our e-books, audiobooks, digital magazines, and streaming videos. Borrow books, CDs, DVDs, board games, magazines, and video games. You can search for the materials that interest you on our online catalogue. 

If you have trouble reading print, we can get you materials from the Centre for Equitable Library Access (CELA).

For your gardening needs, check out our Seed Library, and take home the varieties that interest you.

Resource sharing

Libraries in the Niagara Region work together to give you access to more materials while keeping costs low. These partnerships mean thousands of extra items are available to you.

As part of the Libraries in Niagara Cooperative (LiNC), your Port Colborne Public Library card can be used at several other member libraries. You can also request items to be brought in for you (some limits apply).

We also have agreements with St. Catharines Public Library and Niagara Falls Public Library. Show your Port Colborne Public Library card and a piece of ID with your name and current address at one of their locations, and you can get a card for free. Items borrowed from these libraries must be returned to them.
