Your library card allows you to borrow items from any Pelham Public Library location, as long as you return the materials you have on time. Your card also allows you to access databases, read e-books, and download music.

Library cards are free to all people who live in the Region of Niagara or pay taxes to the Region of Niagara. If you have a library card from one of the LiNC libraries you can use that card at any of the Pelham Library locations. If you live outside the Niagara Region, you may obtain a library card for an annual fee of $40.

Visitors staying in the Town of Pelham for longer than six weeks may obtain a free library card for the period of their stay after providing proof of stay and personal identification.

Schools and youth organizations may also obtain library cards.
