Borrowing from Other Libraries
Borrowing from other Libraries
The Region of Waterloo Library (RWL) has reciprocal borrowing agreements with other local library systems. These agreements allow our members to borrow their materials and resources for free. In turn, their library members can use our materials and resources. You must be a taxpayer of one of the four townships (North Dumfries, Wellesley, Wilmot, Woolwich) in order to benefit from reciprocal borrowing through the RWL.
I am a member of another library system. Do I use my existing library card at RWL?
No. The library will give you a new Region of Waterloo Library card to use.
What materials can I borrow?
Reciprocal borrowers at RWL have access to all of our in-library and online collections. Other library systems may have different rules for RWL members borrowing from their libraries.
