No Overdue Fines!
WGPL joins other Canadian libraries in getting rid of overdue fines. Patrons will still be required to pay for lost or damaged books. C'mon back! |
Remote Printing Need something printed? Don't have a printer? Princh is a new service that lets West Grey Library patrons access the Durham Branch printer for their work from wherever they are. Download the Princh app and use your mobile device, PC or Mac to send your print job to our printer. Then pay and pick up - that's it! Still 25 cents for black and white, and $1 for colour, per page.  Visit our website for a test-drive of the Niche Academy (under "Resources" - or use the quick-tab on the right side of our landing page). You'll find quick videos explaining everything from how to open a gmail account to information on the Library's resources like Kanopy and Libby, to how to make the most out of your social media accounts. Mysteries explained in a minute - free! |

Friends of the Library We are delighted with the huge success at our June Book Sale. Thank you for your donations of books and puzzles, and thank you for shopping and donating to the Friends of the West Grey Library. Our mission is to support the West Grey Public Library and the services it provides to the community, by providing equipment, materials and programs not available through the
regular library budget. In the coming months the Friends of the West Grey Public Library
are supporting several projects, including
Forest of Reading Books
Wonderbrook Talking Books
Kick off celebrations for the TD Summer Reading Club
Digital Newspapers, and more. Keep an eye out for future volunteer opportunities and activities from the Friends! |
