Digital Image Reproduction
Are you looking to purchase an image from our archives? Kawartha Lakes Public Library is able to provide digital copies of our archived photographs and images for a fee. Print reproductions are not available.
Regular orders take approximately 7 - 14 days to complete and larger orders may take longer. We may not always be able to accommodate rush orders.
Please note that not all images available through the Kawartha Lakes Public Library are available for purchasing due to copyright.
It is the purchaser’s responsibility to obtain permission from copyright holders for image reproduction and their intended use. The library will not sell images for which we do not hold copyright without approval from copyright holders.

Prices include HST. Payment must be made in cash or with a cheque. Credit cards are accepted if the total is at minimum $10.00. We do not take debit or eTransfers at this time.
