Short answer
Public libraries are free. A card gives you books, e-books, internet, programs and often free passes.
Who handles it
Handled by your municipality: your city, town or regional government.
Canada Service Map is independent and not a government website. The official page always has the final word.

Places in the biggest cities, from open data. Check the official link for hours and what each office offers before you go.
Your city or town
Each municipality runs its own, with its own rules and website. Start from your city's page:
