Children and Teens come to Cobourg Public Library for a variety of reasons. However, there is one reason which can be found among them all – they want an opportunity to learn and escape the stressors of life. By eliminating fines we will be eliminating access barriers to services which extend well beyond providing books.
Fines have been shown to be a deterrent to those who very well may need the Library most. By eliminating fines we are able to encourage our community to engage with the Library and its services – which extend well beyond providing books.
Financial contributions, such as yours, will help us in eliminating this barrier to service for the youngest in our community.
Three amazing local businesses have stepped up to show their support by allowing donations to be dropped off to them, for ease:
1. Farren Associates - 9 King Street West, Cobourg, Ontario
2. Cobourg Buy & Sell Plus - 47 King Street West, Cobourg, Ontario
3. Symposium Cafe - 965 Elgin St W, Cobourg, ON K9A 5J3
