September is Library Card Sign-Up Month, and for Champlain and East Hawkesbury residents who haven’t joined Champlain Library yet, now is the perfect time. A library card isn’t just a card, it’s your passport to free entertainment, learning, and experiences.
Here’s what you unlock when you sign up:
Endless Reading Options
The library offers thousands of books, magazines, and audiobooks. Borrow them from the library shelves or from the comfort of home through the library apps: Libby and Cantook. Prefer movies and documentaries? Check out the latest DVDs or stream on-demand with Kanopy.
Experiences Without the Price Tag
Your card gives you free family fun with passes to major museums like the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, Canadian Museum of Nature, Canadian Museum of History and even Ontario Parks day passes. That’s days of trips, on the library!
Programs for All Ages
- Kids: Clubs, Crafts, Games and Let’s Talk Science.
- Parents: EarlyOn & Storytime programs for young children—songs, stories, and a chance to connect.
- Adults: Book Clubs, Astronomy Club, genealogy tools like Ancestry: Library Edition, and crafting sessions.
Big Savings
Borrowing just one book a month can save you $240 a year—and that’s not counting movies, magazines, or museum passes.
And the best part? Membership is free for residents of Champlain and East Hawkesbury, and for students in Champlain.
Sign up in minutes at bc-cl.ca/membership or visit us at 94 Main Street East, Vankleek Hill.
A world of free stuff is waiting. Get carded!
