Cornwall Public Library is proud to add another exciting service for the community. NovelBranch – a mini-library customers can access with ease.
Conveniently located at the Benson Centre in the city’s west end, the NovelBranch offers residents another library service point within our community. Users can browse, check-out and return books, all at one convenient location. NovelBranch is available to anyone with an active Cornwall Public Library card, during the Centre’s opening hours.
The NovelBranch features a collection of approximately 150 circulating items. A sturdy transparent door allows customers to easily view the collection. To open the NovelBranch door, scan your library card and enter your PIN. That’s all it takes. Peruse the shelves as if they were in the library, make your selections, and simply close the door. There are five shelves of material to choose from.
The NovelBranch uses RFID technology to know which books have been removed and will automatically check them out on your account. You can also return library items in the NovelBranch or at the main library downtown branch.
