Frequently Asked Questions:
(Registering for Children’s Programs)

  • I do not have a library card. Can I still register for programs?
    You must have an updated orange CPL library card to register for any Storytime. An updated CPL card or an updated TLN reciprocal borrowers’ card is required for most other programs. If you would like to apply for or purchase a Canton Public Library card, please come to the library or go to http://www.cantonpl.org/services/borrow/cardreq.html to apply online. If you need to update your card, please visit the library’s circulation desk.
  • I have a library card, but I am unable to register for a program.
    There could be several things blocking you from registering.
    1. You may be the wrong age for the program. Please check the age requirements and make sure that the library card you are using belongs to the appropriate child.
    2. You may have already registered for another section of the program. Please check MyAccount to see if your card is already registered.
    3. You may be waitlisted for another section of the program. Please check MyAccount to see if your card is waitlisted.
    4. Your card may not be updated. Please visit the circulation desk, or call 734-397-0999.
  • Where can I go to see what programs I have registered for?
    You will receive a confirmation email that you have registered for a program. If you have deleted this or did not receive one, you can check your registration status by logging into MyAccount at https://catalog.cantonpl.org/patroninfo. If you have questions about this process, please call 734-397-0999.
