Dear Welland Public Library Patrons,

While our buildings may be closed, we have many wonderful resources and services that you can access online 24 hours a day, including a vast digital collection of books, movies, magazines, and music.

Your free ticket to a host of resources available right from home starts with your library card. If you’ve lost your card, need to renew your card, or need a new card, please contact us via email: info@wellandlibrary.ca. We will endeavour to respond to all requests within 2 business days.

The list below covers some of our extensive online resources that you can access anytime from home:

• CloudLibrary – popular audiobooks and e-books, accessible anytime from anywhere with an Internet connection:
