Description

With a New Brunswick Public Libraries card, you can borrow materials, use public computers and access online resources. A library card gives you access to a provincial collection of over 2 million items including books, eBooks, audiobooks, music, movies, online databases and more.

Library materials from any of the public libraries in the province may be put on hold through the online provincial catalogue and picked up at your local library. Items can be borrowed for a period of three weeks with two renewals and can be returned at any service point in the public library system.

Please note that the library cards are only issued online to residents of the province of New Brunswick. Landowners must request a card in person at the library.

Lost or stolen cards must be replaced at your local public library.
