Library Service

The Community Library is located in the Tignish Cultural Centre at 103 School Street with Diane McCue as the librarian. Access to the Library is through the Northeast entrance, closest to Maple St.

To contact the Library:
Telephone: 902-882-7363
or email: tignish@gov.pe.ca
Or regular mail: P.O. Box 399, Tignish, PE, C0B 2B0

After hours, the Library has installed a Book Return Drop Off Box outside the Main Entrance of the Library.

The space for the Library is rented from the Tignish Initiatives Corporation and the Librarian position is funded by the Department of Communities, Cultural Affairs and Labour.

Readers can do a search of books online at gov.pe.ca at Provincial Library Services. See librarian for information on this process. If books are not in the Tignish Library, they can be brought to Tignish if they exist somewhere in the Provincial Library system. There are some books written in French within the Tignish Library and the Provincial Library System.

The Library has three computer terminals from the Community Access Program (CAP) site. These computers have Black & White and colour printer capability. There is a small charge for printed pages.

There are two other computer terminals that give the public access to the internet for bill payment and e-mail messaging, etc.

The Library has a TV and DVD player for public use. From time to time, the Library offers used books for sale.

If the Library is successful in obtaining summer student workers, this may allow the Library to extend its hours of operations. Watch for announcements on this.

The Library is overseen by a committee of volunteers. See the Librarian for more information.
