You must meet eligibility requirements to get a Muskoka Lakes Public Library membership. If you are a resident or property owner in the District of Muskoka, or you are a family member of the tax payer and have the same primary address shown on your identification as the tax payer, you can get a library card free. 

Once your request is received and your card created, we will contact you at the e-mail address provided letting you know it is ready for pick up. You will then have 30 days to come into the branch and pick-up your card.

To pick up your library card you will need to provide acceptable identification to verify your name and address matches your membership submission.
