We are proud to offer East Dartmouth communities a new way to borrow books. A Library Kiosk has been installed in the East Dartmouth Community Centre at 50 Caledonia Rd, Dartmouth, NS, B2X 1K8.
The Library Kiosk will always be stocked with a diverse range of books for all ages and interests.
You can borrow and return books as you please—right in your community. This kiosk marks our sixth permanent Library installation in the wider Halifax area. You may have seen our other kiosks at Halifax Stanfield International Airport, St. Andrew's Recreation Centre in Bayers Westwood, Gordon R. Snow Community Centre in Fall River, the Horizon Recreation Centre in Eastern Passage, and the Prospect Road Community Centre in Prospect Road.
Using the kiosk
- Scan your library card and enter your PIN number. (Hint: try the last 4 digits of your phone number)
- The door to the kiosk will open like a fridge.
- Browse the shelves for your next read. You can take the books in and out, read the back, judge them by the covers (we all do it).
- Once you've made your selection, simply close the door. The kiosk will take inventory of the books you have borrowed and print a receipt for your records.
- Enjoy!
Borrowing basics
It's just like borrowing from any Library branch. Books are checked out for 3-week loan periods and can be returned to the following locations:
- The Library Kiosk
- Any Halifax Public Libraries branch, opens a new window or Book Drop—including the one at the East Dartmouth Community Centre
- Any participating "Borrow Anywhere, Return Anywhere" library location, opens a new window in Nova Scotia
