How to Participate:
Starting around late May, and throughout the summer
you can visit your library to sign up for the TD Summer
Reading Club. It’s free!
You’ll get an activity book with a reading log and stickers. There are
two ways to participate. You can either count the number of books
you read or you can count the number of days you read at least 15
minutes each day. Keep track of the books or dates that you read
then come back to the library to enter into the contest. For every five books or five days read, you get to enter to win a
prize at the end of the summer. You’ll also get a small prize for
every five books or five days read (a maximum of four prizes). If you
come back before Friday, July 15, you’ll be entered for a chance to
win the early bird prize of a family swim pass.

What if I need more time?
With your library card handy, you can
renew most items twice:
• in person
• by phone at 1.855.980.7457
or by phoning any location
•online through My Account at
saskatoonlibrary.ca
A few important points
about renewals:
You can get
a free library
card at any SPL
location or any
public library in
Saskatchewan.
• if an item has been requested by
someone else, it cannot be renewed
•overdue items can still be renewed and
this will stop further late charges
• items cannot be renewed if you have
more than $10 owing in late charges
• to renew a Special Loan DVD or video,
call 306.975.7580
Where do I return material?
You can return material to any public
library in Saskatchewan.
Special Loan DVDs and videos must be returned
to Fine Arts at Frances Morrison Central Library.
What if my public library
doesn’t have the material I
want, but another one does?
You can request most materials to be
delivered to your preferred public library
location from one easy-to-use,
province-wide catalogue.
Please remember to check your due dates carefully
as loan periods vary on different items.
