Things to Borrow
The Grey Highlands Public Library offers a variety of unique collections above and beyond books. Visit any of our branches to borrow these items.

Light Therapy Lamps
Light Therapy Lamps are designed to mimic spring and summer light levels and help treat the “winter blues,” or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). People with medical conditions and those taking certain medications should consult a doctor before using light therapy lamps. Use of the lamp is at your own discretion. Grey Highlands Public Library is not liable for any health issues related to the use of the lamp.

Ontario Parks Day Passes / Adventure Kits
Our adventure kits come complete with a complimentary day-use permit that provides access to 1 vehicle and its occupants to more than 100 parks throughout Ontario! These kits also include a backpack, compass, binoculars, a Peterson Field Guide, a Muskoka Trails map clip and an Ontario Parks guide.

Seed Library
Drop in and receive and exchange seeds, connect with other gardeners, and receive gardening tips.
Seeds should be packaged and clearly labeled with the type of seed, year saved and ideally the # of seeds included in each package. Any extra information about the variety and where it was grown would be great!
