Signing up for library cards:
Library cards are not necessary for virtual class visits, but we encourage you to print the application form and distribute it to your class so they can get a card on their own time: https://stthomaspubliclibrary.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Library-Registration-Form_MAY2017.pdf
