Q. Who can become a direct Borrower?

A. Any person who lives in a community that does not have a public library. [Beauval, Buffalo Narrows, Deschambault Lake, lle à la Crosse, la Loche, La Ronge, Montreal Lake, Pelican Narrows, Pinehouse Lake, Sandy Bay, Stanley Mission all have public libraries.]

Q. What does it cost to be a direct borrower?

A. Nothing, as long as you return your materials on time! We pay the postage for the materials to ravel to you and back to us.

Q. How do I return the material?

A. You can return all material with the provided free mail labels or drop it off in any public library.

Q. How old do I have to be to become a direct borrower?

A. Any age is good; however as parents of children under the age of 12 are responsible for their children's overdues, make sure they sign the form agreeing that you can join.
The first step to getting registered is to contact the Pahkisimon Nuye?áh library System (PNLS). There are man ways to contact us.

Not exactly sure what you want, but you like to read mysteries? biographies? you have to fix your porch? your computer?
No problem!
The very capable staff at PNLS will be happy to select materials on your behalf. This is called a SUBJECT REQUEST.

Know exactly what you want to read and who wrote it?
Even better!
We'll look in our collection for it or order it for you from another library. This is called a TITLE REQUEST and if we order it from another . library, it is called an INTERLIBRARY LOAN. Just remember, the more accurate you are at writing down the title and author, the easier it will be to get the right book. Unfortunately, several people have written' a book called Canada!

You have an Internet connection and want to see what we have? Super!
Our books and other materials are listed in the Saskatchewan Union Catalogue (SUNCAT) at
http://www.lib.sk.ca/pleis/

Once registered as a direct patron, you can ask for these different types of requests by mail, fax, phone or email. And we have all of the proper forms here, just waiting for you!
