Check Out and Win!

A Library card is always a winning ticket. This fall, it can also win you a Nintendo Switch 2 or an iPad Air bundle.

How it works

Visit any Thunder Bay Public Library branch between August 1 and September 30 and receive a ballot when you:

  • Sign up for a new Library Card (it's free!)
  • Renew an existing Library Card
  • Check out items from the collection

You'll receive one ballot per visit, no matter how many items you check out. Come back often and earn a new ballot every time. If you sign up or renew and also check out items in the same visit, you'll receive two ballots.

Using the self-checkout? Show your receipt at the main desk to receive your ballot.

The prizes

There are two prize draws:

  • A Nintendo Switch 2
  • An iPad Air bundle

You choose which draw to enter each time you receive a ballot. Draws take place the first week of October, and winners will be contacted directly.

Where to take part

Ballots are available at all four branches:

  • Waverley Library
  • Brodie Library
  • Mary JL Black Library
  • County Park Library

Contest rules

  • The contest runs Saturday, August 1 to Tuesday, September 30.
  • Ballots must be fully completed to be eligible to win.
  • One ballot is issued per visit. Signing up for or renewing a card in the same visit as a checkout earns one additional ballot.
  • Thunder Bay Public Library staff and their closely related family members are not eligible to win. Closely related family includes parents, step-parents, grandparents, spouses and common-law spouses, children, step-children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews, and in-laws (mother, father, daughter, son, brother, and sister-in-law).
  • Draws will be held the first week of October.

Questions? Ask staff at any branch or call (807) 345-8275.
