Don't have a guitar? Why not borrow one from the library? We also have 'learn-to-play' books, DVDs and digital resources available to get you started. Library members may place a request to borrow a guitar and the borrowing period is 3 weeks. You may renew the guitar up to two times, if there is no hold on it. Do note that if an instrument is returned damaged, with accessories missing or not returned at all, a damage or replacement cost will be assessed. Thank you to Huronia Symphony Orchestra, who has kindly purchased the instruments and provides all regular maintenance.
