Guysborough – Cyril Ward Memorial Public Library

Cyril Ward Memorial Public Library offers extended open hours using Open Library technology. These extended hours are available to library cardholders aged 19+ in addition to the regular staffed hours. 

What you need to know (the basics):

• Extended (unstaffed) access is available only to users aged 19 and older.
• The individual (19+) who provides access to anyone aged 18 or younger must remain in the library for the duration of visit and will be held responsible for the behaviour and conduct of any guests they provide access to. 
• Library users are not permitted to provide access to others. This includes opening the door for others and/or sharing their library card number or PIN.
• All library materials borrowed during extended hours must be checked out using the self-service kiosk. Materials can not be removed from the library if they have not been checked out properly.
• All user(s) and their guest(s) are responsible for complying with all ECRL policies.
• To maintain a safe and welcoming environment while maintaining the security of ECRL property, this library is monitored by video surveillance.

• Limited printing and photocopying services are available. ECRL requires users who access this service to deposit payment into the cash box located on the wall above the printer.

All rules and further information about using this service can be found in our Open Library Use Policy.

Please note that extended hours are offered at the discretion of ECRL Management. An individual’s access to Open Library services will be revoked if they do not follow ECRL policies.
