If you own a cottage or any property in the Township of Madawaska Valley there will be no charge, but you must provide proof that you own property or reside in this township.

Brudenell, Lyndoch & Raglan residents & property owners may also apply for a free membership as BLR contracts its library services through the Madawaska Valley Public Library. Proof of residency is required for a library membership.
