Please note: Under the reciprocal agreement between library regions in Nova Scotia, users of one region in the province may obtain a card from a different regional library by visiting a branch in person in the region where they wish to obtain an additional library card.  For example, a resident of the Pictou-Antigonish area may obtain a Cape Breton regional Library (CBRL) library card by visiting any CBRL branch, in person, and presenting their Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library (PARL) library card. At this time, only residents of Cape Breton and Victoria counties may apply for a CBRL library card via our online registration form.

For those who are 13 years of age or younger, please enter your parent/guardians name and phone number at the bottom of the form. A parent's signature is required on the back of all juvenile library cards.


**Please fill in as much information as possible, and remember to choose the library branch closest to you. Improperly completed forms will result in your application being rejected or delayed**
