Public Access
Computers
The Balgonie Library has three public access computers that are available
for one hour bookings. These computers are free to use for all patrons
who have a library card. If you do not have a library card, you can
get one for free at the library. We also have two printers available
for use. The cost for printing is 25 cents per page for black and white
and 50 cents per page for color. Please call the library at 771-2332
to reserve your computer time.
Penny Program
Do you have unwanted pennies? Are they accumulating on the
dresser, in your pockets and in the bottom of your purse? Just bring
them to the library and help fill the water jug. The money will be used
for new Youth Books and further programs.
Outreach
Program
This service is offered to people who are unable to leave their
homes to visit the Library. The Library requests that the patron register
with the Library and a valid reason given for the service. The Library
will arrange for a staff member or a volunteer to deliver the material
to the patron's home. If the Seniors' home requests this service, an
entire block of books can be left at the home for the patrons to browse
through at their leisure. All patrons require a current library card.

InterLibrary Loans
Did you know that you can access the Southeast Regional Library online from any computer with an internet connection? Placing a hold on that Bestseller that you wanted to read is as easy as a few clicks of the mouse and waiting for a phone call?
Just stop by the Balgonie Branch Library to be set up with a PIN number for your library card. Then check out the web site at www.southeast.lib.sk.ca and you can search the entire Southeast library collection by a number of different ways such as by author, title, subject, etc. Clicking on a title will give you more information such as how long the waiting list is for that item. Placing a hold is simple. After you have found an item you would like, hit "request item", you will be asked for you library card number and PIN. From there you will go to a page where it asks you where you would like to pick up the item - from the box select "Balgonie" and hit request. Now all you have to do is wait for a phone call that the item is in at the Balgonie Branch waiting for you to pick it up!
You can also renew titles that you have out on your card from the same site. Just go to the My Account section to see the items you have out, renew items and see the items you have requested, but have not received yet.
Check out the site - a wealth of information is at your fingertips!
The library is always
looking for new programming ideas and suggestions.
If you have any comments or suggestions about how we can serve you better,
let us know at the library.
