The township supports the important service that libraries provide to our community and is working to ensure that residents can enjoy the benefits of a household library membership at the library of their choice.
Tiny residents can obtain a non-resident library membership at one of four area libraries: Midland, Springwater, Penetanguishene, or Wasage Beach. Under Council direction, reimbursement is limited to one library per household. This means that residents can choose the library that is most convenient for them to use, and all members of that household can go to that library. Note: Library memberships are limited to one per household in total, not a membership at each library.
The Township of Tiny has agreements in place with the Midland and Springwater libraries for library services in 2024, and under Council direction given in October 2024, staff are working to renew these agreements for 2025. These agreements are between the township and the particular library to provide a seamless transition for our residents and will not require any money to be paid upfront by residents. For residents choosing to go to the Penetanguishene or Wasaga Beach libraries, the township will reimburse the cost of the library membership.
