SDG COUNTIES, Ontario - Effective April 1, SDG Library and North Grenville Public Library (NGPL) have entered into a reciprocal borrowing agreement for a period of one year.
The agreement provides residents of SDG Counties with the ability to borrow physical resources (with some exclusions) and register/attend programs hosted by the North Grenville Public Library. Conversely, the residents of North Grenville will have the ability to borrow physical resources (with some exclusions) and register/attend programs hosted by the SDG Library.
“We are excited about this partnership and the benefits it will bring to both residents of SDG Counties and North Grenville," said Rebecca Luck, Director of Library Services for the SDG Library. "Residents will have the ability to borrow items from two library systems, ensuring our communities have access to a wider range of resources. This agreement doesn’t cover only books, DVDs and magazines, but also includes non-traditional items such as musical instruments, sporting equipment, games, and outdoor activity kits."
Additionally, both library systems offer an extensive range of programs for all ages giving residents more variety and choice in program selection.
“It really is a fantastic opportunity to discover and enjoy both library systems at no cost," Luck said.
