Your Library card is your passport to a wide range of Regina Public Library programs and services!

Sign up for a library card online and get a temporary barcode that will allow you to place holds and register for programs. To access our digital services and checkout material you will need to activate your temporary card in person at any RPL location or any other Saskatchewan public library. Be sure to bring identification and proof of address with you! (Children under the age of 14 should also bring a parent or guardian.)

Prefer to sign up in person? No problem! Staff members at any RPL location would be happy to assist you.

Absolutely! We have community library cards for customers who have no proof of address. You are welcome to borrow up to 4 items from any Regina Public Library location.

Children (anyone under the age of 14) may have their own library card at any age their parent or guardian wishes to give them one. Parents / guardians should bring identification and proof of address with them when they come to any RPL location to get their child's card.

Parents / guardians are responsible for all materials borrowed on their child's card and any monetary charges resulting from their child's use of the library.

Your Library card is like a credit card, so it is important to let us know immediately if your card has been lost or stolen.

Did you know? If you have an email address on file with us, you can receive a pre-overdue notice that your items are about to become due. This will help you return them on time and avoid overdue fines!

Avoid overdue fines and loss of borrowing privileges by returning materials on time. Fines on overdue materials accumulate daily. Borrowing privileges are suspended when fines or fees total $10.00 or more or a bill to replace lost or damaged material is assessed. An additional $7.00 processing fee is applied to each lost or damaged item.

Borrowing privileges are reinstated when fines and fees are paid down to an amount less than $10.00 and/or lost material is returned and any bill for replacement or damage is paid.

If an item is returned in good condition within 6 months of the payment date, a refund will be made, minus any overdue fines and fees.
