February 5, 2021: Unscheduled Public Access is now available at the Canso Library. Customers will be able to drop in to the library at their convenience during open hours. As long the number of visitors to the library remains below the capacity for maintaining social distancing, the length of their visit will not be limited. All customers will be required to wear a mask, maintain proper physical distancing, and sanitize their hands.

Curbside Pickup remains available at the Canso Library for those who wish to use this service. Learn more.
