Insurance Requirements
All facility renters and third parties (i.e. vendors, caterers, performers, etc.) are required to carry liability insurance when using a Township owned or operated facility. All renters must list the Scugog Memorial Public Library as an additional insured with a minimum coverage of two million dollars on their insurance. Facility agreement holders (renters) have two options when providing liability insurance:
Option 1: Renter’s Insurance Policy: The renter may already have coverage for their organization, or liability insurance policy may be purchased from any insurance provider of the renter’s choice. A certificate of insurance coverage must be completed by the insurer and submitted to the Scugog Memorial Public Library for proof of coverage. Certificates must be received a minimum of one week in advance of bookings.
Option 2: Liability Insurance Program: Renters may purchase insurance through the Liability Insurance Program offered by Armour Insurance Brokers Ltd. This program provides a straight forward and affordable avenue for users to obtain liability insurance protection. If you would like to request a quote for insurance, please mention this when enquiring about booking and Information Services staff can assign a rental number and provide you with a link to request a quote online.

We will not eject someone from a study room unless there is a prior booking.
