Eastern Counties Regional Library Proof of Vaccination Policy
Beginning October 4th, Nova Scotians will need proof of full vaccination to participate in most events and activities that bring groups of people together, including visiting any public library in the province. Information about this policy is available here: https://novascotia.ca/.../proof-of-full-vaccination-policy/
This public health directive means all individuals who are 12 and older must present proof that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before entering any Eastern Counties Regional Library (ECRL) service location, as of October 4th. Proof of vaccination is not required for children 11 or younger, provided they are accompanied by a fully vaccinated adult.
To make sure you have proof of full vaccination before this policy comes into effect, do one of the following:
- If you received a digital copy of your Nova Scotia COVID-19 Proof of Vaccination by email, print your card (shown below) and keep it with you. Printing fees will be waived if you print your Proof of Vaccination at an ECRL service location.
- If you don’t have an email address or you didn’t receive a digital copy of your Nova Scotia COVID-19 Proof of Vaccination by email, call 1-833-797-7772 (Monday to Friday, 7am to 7pm) to request a copy of your proof of vaccination.
Library users that are not fully vaccinated, or choose not to disclose their vaccination status, can access Borrow by Mail service, digital library services, and/or Curbside Pickup/Library Take-out services, depending on their location. Contact your local library for more information.
As public health protocols can evolve quickly, please stay up to date on services offered at ECRL by visiting ecrl.ca often, or by following ECRL on social media (this Facebook page, and Twitter @ECRLibrary).

About this workshop: By now you’re probably familiar with the term ‘resilient.’ Psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress. As much as resilience involves “bouncing back” from these difficult experiences, it can also involve profound personal growth. While these adverse events are certainly painful and difficult, they don’t have to determine the outcome of your life. That’s the role of resilience. Becoming more resilient not only helps you get through difficult circumstances, it also empowers you to grow and even improve your life along the way. This workshop offers tips and techniques for anyone looking to manage stress, build their coping skills and learn to thrive.
