Thank you for visiting the CAP site of the North Kawartha Public Library. Drop into the Library and our Youth Intern Samantha Kemp will be happy to assist you with any computer services we offer.

 

The Community Access Program, otherwise known as CAP, is a Government of Canada initiative, administered by Industry Canada, that aims to provide Canadians with affordable public access to the Internet and the skills they need to use it effectively.

 

We provide FREE internet access, as well as faxing, printing, scanning etc. for a

minimal fee.

 

Basic computer training is available.  These are free 45 minute, one on one sessions and

must be booked in advance. Training topics can include internet searches, Microsoft Office, computer maintenance, managing e-mail and much more. We can also assist you with the Service Ontario website, whether you are looking for personal services or are looking for help in finding out how to start a business. Please call for an appointment.

CHILDREN’S PROGRAMS

 

We offer March Break, Summer Break and Christmas Break programming. Stories, songs, crafts and more!  Watch our web site or call the Library for more information.  Pre-School Story Time runs for 6 week sessions, twice a year, in May and October. 

 

PHOTOCOPIES

 

Photocopies start at $ .20 each.  Paper sizes available are letter (8.5 x 11), legal (8.5 x 14), and

tabloid (11 x 17).

 

INTER LIBRARY LOANS

 

If we don’t have what you’re looking for we can try to get it for you. We will check with other libraries for items we don’t currently have in our collection.  It usually takes 10 days to 2 weeks for them to arrive.

We have both black and white and colour laser printers available when using the computers.  Please enquire in the computer area for pricing before printing.

There is a $3.00 surcharge for overseas faxes (outside of Canada and the US). Incoming faxes are $ .20 per page (letter size).
