Reciprocal borrowing agreements

West Perth Library patrons can now obtain cards at Huron County Library, Waterloo Regional Library, St. Marys Public Library and the Oxford County Library by presenting their West Perth Library card at these locations.  Likewise, patrons of these libraries are welcome to get a card from West Perth Library by presenting a valid card from their home library.

Access your account - Bibliocommmons

  2. Click register.  The username that you select will be associated with any content you add to the catalogue.  Once you have created a username you may use it instead of your library card number to login to BiblioCommons.  Usernames must be letters, numbers and/or underscores.  Entering an e-mail address is optional.  
  3. If you choose to select the Recently Returned feature, the system will keep a list of the titles you borrow from that point onwards for your personal use.  Only three months of materials will be stored on the list.
