Welcome to our page for Learning Resources. We wanted to provide a spot where you can find free online resources that may help you with remote learning, homeschooling, or after-school activities. There are also some great resources for adults.

Our Digital Library page also includes some great resources such as Tumblebooks, Hoopla, cloudLibrary, Kids InfoBits, Gale Courses and more.

If you don't already have a free library card, you can apply for an Online Library card that is valid for 3 months. After that time, please contact the library and we can provide you with a free, permanent library card.

If you are having difficulty with your library card or the digital library, email the library at LibraryAdministration@kawarthalakeslibrary.ca.

COVID-19: The Kawartha Lakes Pandemic Time Capsule

Share a story with us of how you're living your life during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Here are some suggestions:

  • Recipes! Did you try new ones? Did some tried and true favourites get you through this tough time?
  • Pictures! It can be photos of you and your family doing something, it can be your kids' drawings, it can be scenery or something important to you; it can anything at all.
  • "A day in the life of...": Write a story about your day! No story is "non-essential" or "unimportant."
  • Quotes! Did you find some words of wisdom elsewhere that helped you? Tell us!
  • Need a class project? Consider having your students tell us about their COVID-19 life.

All contributions to the time capsule are welcome! The time capsule will live on in our Digital Archive as you help us capture this moment in our shared history.
