As the Province prepares for lockdown, Chatham-Kent Public Library is moving all operating hours toward
Curbside Service at all library locations beginning December 28, 2020.
During Curbside Service, please return all library materials to outside book returns only. CKPL will continue to quarantine all returns for 72 hours.
Loan Periods
Beginning January 2, 2021, books will be checked out for 3 weeks, Express Reads and Express Park Pass will be relaunching and check out for 1 week, and magazines and DVDs will return to a 1 week loan period. Library staff will be glad to review this information with you as needed.
Overdue Fines
All library fines will be reinstated on January 2, 2021. If you have library materials that have been checked out since before CKPL's closure, please return them to your nearest branch at your earliest convenience.
Library staff are available to help! Just ask a CKPL staffer!
