How to Borrow and Return

Active Living items can be borrowed for one week. Items are renewable as long as there are no other holds. You can place any item from the collection on hold and choose to pick it up at any of our 14 library branches.

You must place a hold in advance. Library staff will contact you when the item becomes available to you.

Items from the Active Living collection do not fit in the book drop, so they must be returned to a branch during opening hours.
