Frequently Asked Questions

We've made some upgrades!

What's changed

1. New catalogue      
   • Register with your library barcode number and PIN (same as the old catalogue).
2. New website design      
   • A lot of the old navigation still remains with the new design but there are some changes:
     • The old Collections menu that contained information about our collections is now called Browse the Library. 
     • There are new audience related pages: Kids, Teens, and Adults. 
     • The old Your Library menu that contained administrative information is now found at the bottom of every page. 
3. New events calendar      
   • The new events calendar works very similarly to the old one. Take some time to explore it - you may find a program that interests you! 
   • If you register your library barcode number and PIN (same as the old catalogue) you can keep track of any events you register for! 
4. New room booking software
   • Guelph community members can reserve a Library space through the self-booking tool on our website.
   • All required documents and payments have transitioned from paper-based processes to a fully digitized workflow. 
5. Brand new Library app - available in the App store and Google Play store.    
   • This one-stop-shop app gives you easy access to many of the great services the Guelph Public Library provides. Easily browse the catalogue, place items on hold and manage your library account!
