We are currently facing intermittent technical difficulties with several online library services and are actively working to resolve the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Loans and fees

Mississauga Library is now fine free. In order to provide barrier free and equitable access to all of our customers, the library is no longer charging daily overdue fines. Some fees, such as replacement fees for lost and damaged items, are still in effect.

If you have outstanding fees on your account, you can pay in person or online.

  • In person, visit your nearest library location. The library accepts payments until 15 minutes before closing. Only available when library locations are open.
  • Online, log into your account through the Library Catalogue, go to My Dashboard and click Fees to review and pay.
You can pay online with Visa (excluding Visa Debit), Mastercard (excluding Debit Mastercard), or American Express.
