Did you know that Library members have access to a variety of accessible materials and services — all for free?

From large print books and audiobooks to Visiting Library Services and more, we're committed to making the Library welcoming and accessible to everyone.

During National Accessibility Week (May 31 to June 6), you can check out our accessible displays at both the Main Library and the MLCC Branch.

Staff got a little excited about our Nature Bags… and honestly, we can’t blame them.

These bags are such a fun way to get outside, slow down, and notice the world around you a little differently, whether that’s spotting birds you’ve never noticed before or exploring what happens after dark.

Right now you can borrow:
🦉 Birdwatching Bags
🌙 Explore the Night Bags

And we’ve got a brand new Nature Bag launching at our Explore Nature event with the Peterborough Field Naturalists on June 5, so be sure to check it out!
