Get a Library Card

All residents of the City of Barrie or Oro-Medonte may register for a free library card, by showing current identification with name and address at the circulation desk. Non-residents owning property in either of these two locations may also register for membership, by showing their property tax bill along with their current identification.

All children 12 years of age and under must have a borrower registration form signed by a parent or legal guardian, in order to get a library card. Since parents/guardians are responsible for all material checked out on their child's library card this policy ensures that parents/guardians are aware that their children have a card. When current cards are renewed the child/family will be asked to provide or verify the name of the parent/guardian to ensure our records are current.

Non-residents may join for the following fees:

$60.00 for a one year membership
$40.00 for a six month membership
$25.00 for a three month membership
$25.00 for a one year student membership (Students who do not live or own property in the City of Barrie but attend school in the City of Barrie).
$10.00 each, for cards for additional family members of non-residents

Corporations, businesses or non-profit institutions in Barrie and Oro-Medonte Township may request a corporate card by presenting a letter from the chief officer on company letterhead. This person agrees to accept full responsibility for materials borrowed on this card.

If you are a member of another library, you may also be eligible for a card through one of our reciprocal membership agreements.

A Borrower Registration Form [pdf] is available so you can print it, fill it out and bring it in to the circulation desk along with your identification.


All library memberships expire after one year. To renew your card:
  • Call the library at 728-1010 during business hours and have your address and telephone number udated by Circulation staff
  • While in the library, go to the Circulation desk and have the staff update your information
  • If it was a paid membership, a new payment will be required
