Great news for book lovers and the entire community. The NGPL has reopened as of Monday, July 5.
This will be a gradual process and masks will still be mandatory inside the library at all times.
For those who forget, some masks will be available at the library. Advanced computer bookings will not be required, however, you will still need to see staff at the front desk for an access code.
Over time, small groups for in-person programming will be brought back to the library schedule, and curbside pickup will continue to be available for those who wish to use the service.
If you’ve lost your library card, or you don’t have a library membership yet, you can apply online.
For card renewals, please call or email the branch. Kemptville Norenberg Branch,
