August 8 Update
​

Your Library Board is still actively seeking a new home for the Rainy River Public Library!

What can you read now?  You can access online books through this website. You can download Axis360 further down this page. Instructions for how to use it are included in our Download tab, under "Our Services".  You can also go to "Click Here to Visit Our Catalogue" to find other online options, such as Overdrive.  If you need help with the login, please send an email to rrpl.board@gmail.com or send a message on Facebook Messenger.

You can also borrow books from Baudette, Emo and Fort Frances Public Libraries. Show your Rainy River Public Library card and you will  be issued a card from their library.

Please remember that:
- The telephone has been disconnected. To contact us, please message us on Facebook, email us at rrpl.board@gmail.com or mail to PO Box 308, Rainy River, ON  P0W 1L0
- The Book Return Drop Box has been moved. It is now located beside the main door at the
​Town of Rainy River Office at 201 Atwood Ave.
- You can renew any books you currently have on loan through the online renewal. If you require assistance with that, please send us a message and we will do our best to help you. All books are currently renewed until August 31, 2022. Interlibrary loan books are due by their original due date. We have to return them to their home library on time.

  • Contact your local municipality to let them know you care about the future of your Library:
  • Write our MPP, the Hon. Greg Rickford. The province has had Library funding frozen since 1997.
  • Write: 279 Scott St, Unit 1, Fort Frances ON P9A 1G8; 807.274.7619; https://gregrickfordmpp.ca/contact/

​ We are so grateful for the outpouring of support we’ve received from the community. Please know we’re doing everything in our power to keep serving you.
