Library Collection 

The Kenora and Keewatin libraries have so much to offer! Our physical collection is constantly evolving! We keep up to date with bestsellers, while maintaining our collection of classics and history. There is something here for everyone.

If you have a book or author suggestion for our library, we'd love to hear it! You can also browse our collection on our catalogue! From here you can login to your account (you will need your library card number and PIN, which can be provided by staff) to place holds, view your current and past checkouts, and renew your items! 

We can't be open 24/7, but that doesn't mean books aren't available to you! eBooks and eAudiobooks are available night and day. There are also online resources available to help you figure out what to read next! Staff are available during business hours to help you get reading apps like Libby or EBSCOhost Mobile app set up on your device!
