Thank you to everyone who shared their ideas, experiences, and hopes for the future of our library. Through meaningful conversations and community input, your voices helped shape a plan that reflects who we are and where we’re going!

Our updated mission : “Through discovery, innovation, inclusion, and connection, we empower our community to learn, grow, and thrive.”

This plan is more than a roadmap – it focuses on our vision of an inclusive and innovative community where everyone can connect, create, and access information equitably, today and into the future. It is our commitment to building a library that welcomes everyone, sparks curiosity, supports lifelong learning, and strengthens community connections.

We invite you to explore the plan and see how your voice helped shape the future of the Renfrew Public Library!

When the Library transitioned to a fine‑free model in 2021, we did not anticipate the significant increase in demand for our Beyond Books collections, especially items like hotspots and Chromebooks. To ensure equitable access for all patrons and to support the replacement of damaged or unreturned equipment, we now need to update and reintroduce fines for select high‑demand items.

Fines will now apply to overdue equipment, including:

• Explorer Backpacks and Astronomy Kits
• Snowshoes, walking poles and other equipment
• Museum and park passes
• Wi‑Fi hotspots
• Chromebooks

These items will accrue a $5/day fine if returned late.

We truly appreciate everyone who returns items on time. Because many of these resources are in high demand and often limited to a single copy, these fines are intended to help ensure timely returns so that more community members can enjoy them. Funds collected from overdue fines will directly support the replacement of damaged or unreturned technology.
