Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board Library Card Partnership
Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) has partnered with Hamilton Public Library (HPL) to simplify the Library card registration process for students*. 
Parents and guardians can check the “Yes, I consent” box on the HWDSB Parent Portal and then pick up their library card and welcome package at a local branch.
Please note Library cards are not associated with HWDSB.
If you have any changes or if you change your mind and no longer consent to your child having a Library card, please contact Library Staff.
Learn more about HPL's Borrowing Policy and Privacy Policy.
*Please note the Hamilton Public Library Card Opt-In is only at select elementary schools during this pilot period. We hope to bring this opportunity to all schools in the future.
