Online registration FAQs:
How much do programs cost?
All Region of Waterloo Library (RWL) programs are free! External groups like St. John Ambulance may charge for their programs.
When does registration end?
Registration is ongoing throughout the session as long as there is space in the program.
Must I register for each week of a program?
It depends on the type of program. Many programs require one registration to sign up for all weeks of the program. However, some programs are designed to allow you to pick and choose the weeks you wish to attend. For those programs, you must register separately for each date you plan to attend the program. These programs will specify in the event description that weekly registration is required.
Can I register for programs and events at any RWL branch?
Yes! Library members are welcome to sign up for programs and events at any RWL branch.
What programs are parents/caregivers required to participate in?
For children 2 years old or younger, parents/caregivers are required to stay with their children in all programs. For children ages 3-9, parents/caregivers are required to stay in the library but not necessarily in the program. Note that family-oriented programs, such as Family Storytime, are designed for parent/caregiver and child to participate together so parents/caregivers are required to stay with children of all ages.
Do I have to register myself for children's programs as parent/caregiver?
An accurate count of attendees is important, for both safety and legal reasons, to ensure we are in compliance with the fire code rules. As a result, for larger special events like entertainers, it is necessary for all individuals attending the program, including adults and babies, to register. If registering online from home, please register each individual person attending separately. If registering at the branch with staff assistance, please indicate how many children and adults will be attending, so everyone is accounted for in the online registration records.
There are so many programs! Is there a way to only display my own branch's programs in the calendar?
